A#                          F
Stay awake don't rest your head
D#                        A#
Don't lie down upon your bed
A#                            D#
While the moon drifts in the skies
D#m   A#/D          Cm        F
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
