Hi all, after writing some more serious stuff of late I thought it was time to have a bit of fun again - and to revisit the quirkier side of my songwriting. I know nobody is going to have a hit with fun songs like these, but hey I just enjoy making them and sharing with a few folk!
The song is loosely based on some fraught conversations I have been having of late with my dearest wife - regarding ...well my snoring problem actually and what she says is my general inconsiderate behaviour when she is asleep! Enjoy!

My Sleeping BeautyI tried not to wake her
I tiptoed up the stairs
As quietly as I could until
I fell into a chair
I may have been a little drunk
She was stirring in the bed
She seemed glad to see me
When these come-on words she said
I want you baby
I want you now
She said seize me in your arms
And thrill me
I love your beer breath
My drunken dear
Let me whisper in your earGet real!
You woke me up!
I tried not to wake her
Cos she was clearly in a mood
But snoring has its own ideas
On what is and is not rude
I felt an elbow in my ribs
Nearly knocked me out of bed
I'm sure she looked at me with lust
As these sultry words she said
I want you baby
I want you now
She said seize me in your arms
And thrill me
I love your snoring
My noisy dear
Let me whisper in your ear Get real!
You woke me up!
Oh, counting sheep
Off to sleep
And a sweet dreams wonderland
I find pure tranquillity
Helps amenability
Woke next day
Feeling great
Though I slept in rather late
Called my dearest back to bed
Bring a cup of tea I said
Hopes of passion filled my headOh darling
Good morning (kiss)
I want you baby
I want you now
I said seize me in your arms
And thrill me
I love your bleary eyes
My sweetest dear
Until she whispered in my earGet real!
You woke me up!
Oh, la-la-la
My sleeping beauty
