Lyrics:

Dave Wall

Mike Downes, bass
Colleen Allen, tenor sax
Andrew Craig, piano
Mark McLean, drums

I ain't got nothin' on my plate
Please let me sleep in late
No codfish biting at my bait
Please let me sleep in late
Feel like I'm standin' at St. Peter's gate
Please let me sleep in late
Don't know the time
I don't know the date
Please let me sleep in late

Gonna lay right down here
In my cozy bed
You know I might be dreaming
I might be dead
Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight
Please let me sleep in late
I ain't got time for love and hate
Please let me sleep in late

For when the sun begins to rise
I don't wanna see it through my tired eyes
Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight
Please let me sleep in late
I ain't got nothin' on my plate
Please let me sleep in late
Don't know the time, I don't know the date
Please let me sleep in late
