Why can’t the bell ring early
Why does it ring late?
Can’t it just ring right now?
That would be great.

Instead it waits till later
After everyone’s been dulled
I’m waiting for the sunshine
But the sun’s been lulled

My eyes have grown heavy
What am I looking at?
I feel like drooping down
Falling down flat

Time is still here
I’ve started counting sheep
Finally the bell has rung
But I am fast asleep
