Sleepytime Cartoon Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Coming home late from work
Standing outside in the dark, it′s three o'clock
And I′m fumbling for my keys
I oughta fix that front porch light
Maybe tomorrow I'll remember, then I laugh
When I remember that I won't
Maybe it′s wasting time, the way I′m spending mine
I guess I should get something done
While everyone's asleep, I claim that time for me
And it′s too dark to be mowing that lawn Picking up pork chop bones
Left on the floor by my bad dog
Mumbling to myself
Take a look in the fridge
Grab some Tostitos and Picante sauce
And I'm headed for my chair
Maybe it′s wasting time, the way I'm spending mine
I guess I should get something done
While everyone′s asleep, I claim that time for me
And it's too dark to be mowing that lawn


Enough of that T.V. jones
Turn it off and crawl in the bed with my dead wife
Fumbling with my sheets
Turn out the light
Turn over and kick out my cat
It's a sleepytime cartoon
Maybe it′s wasting time, the way I′m spending mine
I guess I should get something done
While everyone's asleep, I claim that time for me
And it′s too dark to be mowing that lawn
