lie still and try to fake
all my thoughts far away
counting sheep come here to play...

Ceiling fan atop my head
Keep me cool while in my bed
Cooling air while I sleep
And shearing all my counting sheep...

Sing me a lullaby darling
Carry me to sleep
I’m weary of the waiting,
Waiting for relief
Hum a happy melody
Send me to counting sheep...

Why do you weep
Can't you sleep
Try counting sheep
Take a peep
Monsters creep
Try breathing deep
Fast asleep
Talk is cheap
Beep Beep Beep...

The Sheep
I was just like little bow peep
Who kept trying to count sheep
I tried to close my eyes
Then got a big surprise
Counting sheep had put me to sleep...

Knight Mare
I miss you most 'twixt dusk and dawn
Wondering where you might have gone
Like Little Bo Peep
I'm stuck counting sheep
Thinking of you with nothing on...

Sheepless
Of late, I've been counting sheep;
it helps me drift off to sleep.
With tonight's extra hour,
unless something goes sour,
I might even find Bo Peep's....

Tiny pirates
Have capsized my bed
And stolen my sleep
Blast those little
Buccaneers!
Now I'm counting sheep!

The motif is philisophical...

I Could Weep
I'm off to bed, counting sheep
Toss and turn, I cannot sleep
Just when morning starts to peep
I hear the alarm go- BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

Waiting for daylight
When outside be bright
Go home and sleep
No counting sheep
Nights are my days
Yet it stil pays
Good morning to you
My night work is true...

Still Counting Sheep
Mother please won't you not weep;
Dad is in sky where God does keep;
Who we do love;
He is now above;
We are still here counting sheep.

Lamb Stew
The poor animal's all gender-confused
Its friends say it is not at all amused
Should it go meh-meh
Or perhaps baa-baa
At night, of counting sheep it is accused!...

Count Sheep Without Peep
Had Been Counting Sheep
Remember when I had parked my jeep,
And then counted sheep without a peep;
Should suggest,
That I rest;
Stopped surfing and soon fell asleep.

Man With a Plan
Trying not to speak
Listening to the house creak
Counting sheep
Pretending not to think
Quietly deciphering
The enigma that is man
Staring in the mirror
Am I a man with a plan...?...

Counting Sheep So I Can Sleep
Counting Sheep So I Can Sleep
I continuously am counting sheep;
Praying that God will let me sleep;
Wife ignoring;
Started snoring;
Woke me and said I better not keep.

Dawn
a big full moon
a coyote yowl
in the tree
a hooting owl
a warm night
and I can't sleep
counting sheep
does not help me
so I lay here
wide awake
knowing soon
the dawn will break...

We Had Been Counting Sheep
We Had Been Counting Sheep
For Washington were counting sheep;
Record would creep and then be steep;
Batting great,
As of late,
And series playoffs they would sweep.
Sound familiar?

Cry
Cry
Cry me counting sheep
Cry me emotions running deep
Cry me till my wings unfold
Cry today sing tomorrow
Cry very little a good place to be
Cry we must but not everyday
Cry then dry your tiers and fears...

Counting Sheep
Got up at 3:00 AM, sure had enough sleep
Coffee at 10:00, made me ready to dance and leap
Thought I might as well rise
Stead of giving it a try
Got up to ten thousand, counting all those damn sheep!...

Joy, Aging Is Thy Name
The news
controls my views
Vials of pills
mountains of bills
Lack of sleep
counting sheep
Overeating
bowels bleeding
Tooth decay
more every day
Hair's turned white
Say 'goodnight!'...

Oh For Some Zzzz
I slept in our bed sound asleep
Under the covers i felt a hand creep
It was my American dove
Who had given me a shove
For my snoring had left her counting sheep
