	Some people have a hard time falling asleep. For me, that's easy--the hard part is getting out of bed in the morning. In fact, it's probably the toughest part of my day! So this song is my "ode to sleep."

	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song while I was in college--Lowell House was my equivalent of a dorm, and they had these huge bells that rung at noon every Sunday. A gift from Russia, I think. But these weren't your run-of-the-mill bells. They were, how can I say it nicely, microtonal? Anyway, not the most pleasant sound to wake up to on a groggy Sunday... Lyrics Snooze Button Blues I woke up this morning And I heard a beep Interruptin’ My precious sleep It wants me to wake up But I must refuse So I hit that button But that sound keeps on bouncin’ back like a bunch of kangaroos Chorus: I said Sandman help me I got the Snooze Button Blues I said Sandman help me I got the Snooze Button Blues Then I woke up on Sunday Heard them Lowell House Bells Sounding like a bunch of Drunken and off-key infidels So I crawl back under the covers Figure it don’t matter But when I finally make it to brunch They’re out of waffle batter (C’mon man!) Chorus Oh yeah I like to sleep Perchance to dream That explains why I quit The men’s crew team And oh yeah I really hate When my sleep is abated Cuz you know that being awake Is overrated Chorus
