I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.

I don't want to wear pajamas no it wouldn't be right
Cause that¹s what you wear gonna say goodnight
And I'm not gonna say it cause I'm not gonna go
I'll stay in my room I'll put on a puppet show

I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.

I don't want to brush my teeth
I'm gonna close my mouth
Mmmmmmmm
You can leave me alone you know I'll be all right
I'll pick up the phone and order pizza tonight

I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.

If you hear me counting sheep
You might think I'm trying to sleep
But there is a ranch on my blanket
Here come the cowboys
I'm just playing with my toys

I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.

I don't want to hear another silly lullaby
If I hear that song again I think I'm gonna cry
I don't want to read a book and say goodnight to the moon
Don't turn off my light when you leave me in my room

I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.
I'm not tired I don't want to go to bed.
I'm not tired I think I'll stay up instead.
Zzzzzzz
