Lyrics

I DON’T WANNA TAKE A NAP
(Lyrics and music by Winston Apple)

I’m tired, I’m yawning, I’m rubbing my eyes
But I’m sure that my mommy and daddy won’t be the least bit surprised
To find that I –
I don’t wanna take a nap
I don’t wanna take a nap
Sleeping just doesn’t seem as exciting as all of the other things I could do

I promised Woody that we would have a tea party this afternoon
All my friends will be outside playing soon
I need to get out there too
You could turn on the TV
There’s always something on
Or you could put in a movie show
I really love my movie shows
Take a look around my room
So many toys
So little time
I need to stay up just a little longer
I hope that you don’t mind
But, I don’t wanna take a nap
I’ve got much too much to do
I don’t see how I could possibly take a nap
There’s simply no time for that

Uh, oh
Mommy’s got a book
Uh, oh
That’s one of my favorite books
Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt just to take a look
Mommy’s voice is soft and sweet when she reads to me
I love it when Mommy reads to me
I only hope that she remembers that I don’t wanna take a nap
