Lyrics of Sleepwalking

(w. a. ramsey)
Last night you know i couldn't sleep,
I was tossing, turning, and counting sheep,
To tell the truth,
The next thing i knew
I woke up on the outside,
In the middle of the avenue.
A policeman spied me in traffic there,
In my t-shirt and my underwear,
He said "son, son
It sure don't look good,
The way you've been calling for your baby,
All over the neighborhood."
It seems i was sleepwalking,
Again last night,
The way i was sweet talking,
It must have caused a terrible fight,
Last night when i was sleepwalking.
Someone saw me at a doughnut shop,
I was sitting, crying on a tabletop,
It was not a pretty sight.
I was out of control,
The way that i was carrying on,
About my sweet jelly roll.
I said, "officer please,
My baby's got me down on my knees,
Lying in bed,
Late at night,
Sometimes i just go out of my head,
At night,
And i go out sleepwalking."
Later on down at the jail cell
I was hoping things would turn out well,
Because i don't recall
That masquerade ball,
And i sure don't remember nothin' y'all
About that blown up rubber doll.
So lately i've stopped going anywhere,
And i've taken to sleeping with a teddy bear,
It's a very full and rich
Imaginary life,
And it's sure enough better than dreaming y'all,
About any imaginary wife.
