Menage a Tune - Who Needs an Alarm Clock?

lyrics

5 am, you’re up again
And once again you woke me. Honestly!
I wish you were a bit more quiet
Your noise is like a riot
I’d rather sleep until 8 or later
Please get away from my refrigerator!
*deep sigh*

Just because we’re roomies it doesn’t mean I want to
Wake before the birds and spend each moment with you
Oh! And that reminds me- when I’m in the bathroom
Kindly stay out!
Yeah we’ve been together for sixteen years
And yes you know I like you very much my dear
But you REALLY do not need to be in here
Let’s leave a little myst’ry
To help keep things polite
So let’s not fight
We can put things right
If I can sleep all night

Since I’m up, and all wound up
Let’s talk about your hygiene- it’s the pits
A bath won’t kill you don’t avoid it
If you stank less I’d enjoy it
I’m tired of the crap on the floor as well, Bud
And you marking up the floors with all that damn mud

You mooch the foods I’m eating, acting like you’re starving
Staring at me with those big brown eyes so charming
I say I won’t give in but you are so disarming
I cannot resist
Why am I complaining? You’re my best friend ever
Always here beside me, would I leave you? Never!
Even though I bitch I want you here forever
I can’t imagine living, with anyone but you
And that’s all right
Even if it’s night
Guess I’ll turn on the light
And crawl out of bed and sigh
*yawns*
(spoken) I need the exercise anyway
