“There’s too much going on, stayin’ up until the dawn”
The bedtime struggle is real, because everyone knows all the fun stuff happens after we’re asleep. The solution? Stay awake. And the best way to stay awake is to keep moving, and the best way to keep moving is to get up and DANCE!!
Influences: Early ‘80’s Prince, the bedtime struggle
Listen For: analog synthesizers, falsetto vocal harmonies, nod to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” intro sermon
lyrics
CHORUS
Hey Mr DJ they're gettin' out my PJs and trying to find a sleepy time song
So can you play me somethin’ groovin’ to keep my body movin’ or I won't be awake for too long
Hey Mr DJ they're gettin' out my PJs and trying to find a sleepy time song
So can you play me somethin’ groovin’ to keep my body movin’ or I won't be awake for too long
Stand up, turn around
Jump up high now touch the ground
Stand up, turn around
Jump up high now touch the ground
I've got to stay awake, no matter what it takes
I've got to stay awake, no matter what it takes
Slide left shuffle right
Shake and shimmy through the night
Slide left shuffle right
Shake and shimmy through the night
There's too much going on, stayin' up until the dawn
There's too much going on, stayin' up until the dawn
Whew,
All this, movin’ around is getting me, worn out
I’m gonna need to.. sit down here and, catch my breath
Maybe I’ll just.. lean my head back and…just..close my...eyes...
WAIT A MINUTE
CHORUS
Hey Mr DJ they're gettin' out my PJs and trying to find a sleepy time song
So can you play me somethin’ groovin’ to keep my body movin’ or I won't be awake for too long
Run up and down the hall
Keep on bouncin' off the walls
Run up and down the hall
Keep on bouncin' off the walls
I'm ninja quick tonight, so fast I'm outta sight
I'm ninja quick tonight, so fast I'm outta sight
Roll around upon the floor
Play a rhythm on the door
Roll around upon the floor
Play a rhythm on the door
It's really not that late, And I'm still feeling great
It's really not that late, And I'm still feeling great
Whew,
My heart is beating really fast from all this.. running and jumping
I'm gonna need to, sit on my bed and, just rest for a bit
Maybe I’ll just, go ahead and, lie down and I can...zzzzzz
WAIT A MINUTE!
CHORUS
Hey Mr DJ they're gettin' out my PJs and trying to find a sleepy time song
So can you play me somethin’ groovin’ to keep my body movin’ or I won't be awake for too long
