I Took A Nap 01-06

Geesh, I go to bed in January and wake up in December.

My gosh, it flew right out of sight


I didn't see it go.


Somehow, though, it knocked me wild


In tempest it did blow!


I took a nap 01-06


It really wasn't long


I laid my head down for a while


Then I heard the gong!


"Wake up", it said, "It's New Year's Eve."


Don't sleep your life away


Wake up and see a brand new year


It's knocking at your door.


What happened here, where did it go?


06 has turned the page


To find me wondering where I am


And why I'm in this state!


More wrinkles, flab and gray hair too


It added one more fate


The list grows long, it's getting late


And closer to the gate!


So now, I'm looking toward the sun


It's in the southwest run


Gradually moving every day


To greet the New Year's dawn.


Oh, yes 06 will soon be gone


07 will take its place


And I'll lie down to take a nap


To start another race!
