WORKMAN:
I feel like I'm not out of bed yet.
A-a-a-a-a-a-h-
Oh, the sun is warm,
But my blanket's warmer.
Sleep, sleep, in your lady's arms.

QUARTET:
Sleep in your lady's arms.

2nd WORKMAN:
Ya got the time, bud?

3rd WORKMAN:
Three minutes to six

WORKMAN:
I left my old woman still sleeping.
O-o-o-o-o-o-h-
Oh, the air is sweet.
But my woman's sweeter.
Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms.

QUARTET:
Sleep in your lady's arms.

2nd WORKMAN:
Hey, what time is it?

3rd WORKMAN:
One minute to six.

WORKMAN:
All night I was walkin' the baby.
W-a-a-a-a-a-h-
Oh, his eyes are blue,
But her eyes are bluer.
Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms.

QUARTET:
Sleep in your lady's arms.

2nd WORKMAN:
What time is it now, bud?

WORKMAN:
Aw, six o'clock, will ya!?
