Counting Sheep

(Robert Ellis Orrall)
 I'm counting the cracks on the wall by my bed
 'Cause I can't get to sleep
 And my mother said
 To try counting sheep as they're jumpin' the fence
 But the fence has a hole
 And the sheep snuck out
 Their tails are wagging
 Back and forth in celebration
 Farmer Sam is calling out their names
 But he's yelling to loud and I can't get to sleep
 And it's all on account
 Of those runaway sheep
 Now they're out in the woods eating ice-cream and cake
 Dancing 'round and around
 That's why I'm awake
 Unless I'm dreaming
 This is all to silly to be really happening
 They've all got party hats
 Every one of those sheep has a bell on it's neck
 Going ring-a-ding-ding
 I'm a nervous wreck
 They're ringing so loud
 Tell me why it won't stop
 A familiar sound
 Just like my alarm clock
 Hey no wonder
 I can hear Mom say good morning
 Time for breakfast
 Tell me what you dreamed
