Z's
By Dave Frishberg

Well I don′t need no vitamins or tonics
Or hormones off some monkey in the trees
I don't need no high or low colonics
Or jelly from royal honeybees
I got to get me some z's

Oh I don′t need no Turkish bath or sauna
I don′t want no pills from no M.D.s
I could stay awake but I don't wanna
′Cuz I'd be walking around on my knees
I got to get me some z′s

I'm talking ′bout z's
To zipper up those raveled sleeves of care
Z's, to mend a mind in disrepair


Oh I don′t need no heavy conversation
Ain′t got wind enough to shoot the breeze
I don't need no free association
With some Beverley Hills Viennese
I got to get me some z′s

Now I can dig exactly where my head's at
I can diagnose my own disease
Just lock me up and leave me where my bed′s at
With a sign that says 'go away please′
This man is getting some z's

I peak in the mirror, my face is frozen
Like a man who's dying by degrees
Looks as if my eyes are almost closing
I′m beginning to look Japanese
I better get me some z′s

I'm talking ′bout z's
To zipper up those raveled sleeves of care
Z′s, to mend a mind in disrepair


I don't want no whiskey or no highballs
I don′t need no headaches or DTs
Just dig these satchels underneath my eyeballs
If I'm going to get rid of these
I better get me some z's
I better get me some z′s
I better get me some z′s

Good night
