Sleep Deprivation Drove Me Crazy

Deprived of sleep most every night Always looking like a fright Bags under my tired eyes No matter how much I try The sandman won't hear my plea Begging him to get some sleep Sprinkling his magic dust Over me so I can just Snore all through the darkened night Not waking till the morning light Refreshed and full of energy Not insane and going crazy From my lack of nightly slumber Mr. Sandman put me under Before one day I just crack Sleep deprivation that I lack Will drive me nutty and fall In a room with rubber walls My thoughts bouncing everywhere Mr. Sandman don't you care That my marbles have been lost Because of a stingy boss Watching over bags of sand That he sprinkles from his hand
