I Only Feel Like Sleeping
You seem to think that I enjoy running after that ball
Like I’ve got nothing better to do
You seem to think that I enjoy diggin’ all kinds of holes
Well to be honest I do it for you
I only feel like sleeping
I only feel like sleeping
most of the time
You seem to think that I enjoy jumping into the sea
Like I’ve got nothing better to do
You seem to think that I enjoy chasing cats into trees
Well to be honest I do it for you
I only feel like sleeping
most of the time
I’ve got a proposition for you
Why don’t you go and get that ball yourself
Guess you don’t like it, neither do I
I’ve got a proposition for you
Why don’t you get out of that lazy chair
Guess you don’t like it
Neither do I
You Never Worry
You never worry, ’bout what they think
You never hurry, and you don’t drink
You’re so relaxed, you never even seem to care about your hair
You’re never grumpy, you’re never mean
You have never made a public scene
You are just happy, you enjoy e-ve-ry day that you’re able to play
You act on impulse that’s the only thing you do / Oh how I wish I was a bit more like you
You never look back or ahead / You don’t dwell on things that have been said
You don’t feel underestimated or unseen / You’ve got great self-esteem
You act on impulse that’s the only thing you do / Oh how I wish I was a bit more like you
‘Cause you don’t worry, ‘bout what they think / You never hurry, and you don’t drink
You’re so relaxed, you never even seem to care/ about your hair
It always looks nice, to be fair
Crazy
They tell me I’m crazy for loving you
They tell me I’m crazy you know
that they can’t help it
Can’t understand it no nohohoho
You’re the love of my life and I love you so
They say you’re peculiar
Your ears are odd
Like that is what matters the most
But they can’t help it
Can’t understand it no nohohoho
You’re the love of my life and I love you so
You’re not handsome or wealthy
You make a lot of noise
But to me you are beautiful
You are my favorite boy
They tell me I’m crazy for loving you
They tell me I’m crazy you know
but they can’t help it
Can’t understand it no nohohoho
You’re the love of my life and I love you so
Just Let Me Sleep
Just let me sleep
The day has only just begun, don’t weep
I promise you, your time will come
We’ll go to the beach, we’ll walk through the park
We’ll swim in the lake until it gets dark
But honey, please let me sleep right now
Just let me sleep
The day has only just begun, don’t weep
I promise you, your time will come
We will leave the house and walk to the mall
We’ll buy loads of food and get you a ball
But honey, please let me sleep right now
It’s not like I am asking the impossible from you
So baby stop looking so blue
Don’t Mention The Ball
Don’t mention the ball
It causes way too much excitement
Ball
Oops
You’ve said it
Don’t mention the ball

Now you’re on for hours full of throwing fun
So put your boots on
And get down
To the beach
And from now on
Don’t mention the ball
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Don’t mention the ball
It’s better for us all
'Cause it never bores him
He’s easy to please
But sometimes I’d like some peace
and quiet
No, it never bores him
He’s easy to please
But sometimes I’d like some peace
and quiet., so…
Don’t mention the ball
Raincoat
So you wander why I’m always sleeping, when it’s raining outside
And you don’t get that when you call me I am always trying to hide
You are waiting for me with my fancy raincoat ready at hand
But I would rather die than put that on / As you’ll understand
I’m waiting for the sun to shine again
Until then I’ll just continue sleeping, when it’s raining outside
‘Cause you don’t get that when you call me I am always trying to hide
You are waiting for me with my fancy raincoat ready at hand
But I would rather die than put that on / As you’ll understand
I’m waiting for the sun to shine again my friend
‘till then
I will stick to my routine of sleeping
When it’s raining outside

Boy
You were lying in the corner of the room
Trying to hide
Like you’re not worth a mention
You were ready to dissolve into thin air
And you succeeded nobody paid attention to you
Boy you are so beautiful
Oh boy you are so beautiful
To me
When you look around you just a little more
You will discover
You too are needed dearly
Cause I recognize the kindness of your mind
And I am grateful, because my friend I nearly missed you
Boy, you are so beautiful
Yes boy, you are so beautiful
To me
Please don’t say you don’t believe in fairy tales
Neither do I
Just get up and walk into your life

You were ready to dissolve into thin air
And you succeeded nobody paid attention to you
Boy you are so beautiful
Yes boy you are so beautiful
To me
No Words Needed
You cannot talk
nobody taught you how to speak
You’ve got no words to tell me how you feel
But still, I understand you better than most people though
It’s funny, oh I know
You don’t do chit chat,
whisper secrets in my ear
Cannot repeat a story that you’ve heard
But still, I understand you better than most people though
It’s funny, but it’s so
that you tell me stories with your eyes, I know
Exactly what you try to show me
You cannot talk
nobody taught you how to speak
You’ve got no words to tell me how you feel
But still, I understand you better than most people that I know
It’s funny, but it’s so
It’s so
no words needed, no, no.
Let’s Go To The Park
Let’s go to the park
Though it’s rather dark
Let’s chase rabbits, none of us can see
It’s such fun to be out with me
Let’s go to the park
Though it’s rather dark
We could easily play hide and seek
Ain’t it fun to be out with me
Don’t be afraid I’ll get lost,
disappear
That’s just not something I do
Even in darkness, the night black as coal
I’ll find my way back to you
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Let’s go to the park

Movies
I just don’t get why you are standing in the hallway with the key in your hand
‘cause you forgot to put my leash on, and now you’re leaving I just don’t understand
You told me I’m your best friend, but you seem to have lied
‘cause otherwise, you wouldn’t leave me here tonight
You say you’re going to the movies, it sounds nice there, why don’t you take me along
It’s much more fun to go together, but you don’t listen, you rather go alone
You told me I’m your best friend, but you seem to have lied
‘cause otherwise, you wouldn’t leave me here tonight
You’ve never left me before, why are you walking out that door
But when you get back at midnight, I won’t be angry, I won’t be sad or blue
I’ll just be happy and excited, without resentment I’ll be all over you
‘Cause you are still my best friend, no matter what you do
But just make sure that in the future, you’ll be taking me with you
Yeah just make sure that in the future, you’ll be taking me with you
Cookie Jar
I’m a big boy, you keep telling me
Big enough to stay alone
So you’re going out without taking me
I am supposed to guard the home
Don’t you know that it’s not very wise to leave me
alone
with the cookie jar
I’m a big boy, according to you
So I need to eat a bunch
All this guarding work makes me hungry,
so I’m arranging my own lunch
Don’t you know, that it’s not very wise to leave me
Alone
with the cookie jar
You’ll be proud of me, when you arrive at home, you were right all along
I’m a big boy, I can stay home alone
Rain
Why are you crying and lying behind that chair
Why are you hiding you know I will find you there
Are you afraid of the rain little boy
Please don’t be scared anymore
Why won’t you go out and run in the park tonight
Why do you look like in your life just nothing’s right
Are you afraid of the rain little boy
Please don’t be scared anymore
Feel all the drops on your head
It’s not as bad as you thought
Feel all the drops on your head and enjoy
The rain is your friend in the end little boy
So why are you crying and lying behind that chair
Why are you hiding you know I will find you there
Don’t be afraid of the rain little boy
Please don’t be scared anymore
Don’t be afraid of the rain little boy
Please don’t be scared anymore
You Came Along
You came along when I was lonely and confused
You came and knew somehow exactly what to do
You came, I called you by your name
and everything just changed, the day that I met you
You came, stood by my side according to your plan
You came, and soon enough you made me smile again
You came, I called you by your name
And nothing stayed the same, the day that I met you
You didn’t do much more
Than being just yourself
there was no obligation (too) to be someone else but you
You came along when I was lonely and confused
You came and knew somehow exactly what to do
You came, I called you by your name
And everything just changed, the day that I met you
You came, stood by my side according to your plan
You came, and soon enough you made me smile again
You came, I called you by your name
And nothing stayed the same, the day that I met you
You came, I called you by your name
And nothing stayed the same, the day that I met you
Stupid
I say stupid things all the time I can’t help it / the words just roll out of my head
Most people ignore me / but you just adore me / you still want to lie in my bed
You think I’m great / although I am the biggest loser in the world / you’re still my girl
I do stupid things all the time I can’t help it / I even make grown-up men cry
Most people don’t like me / but you stay beside me / you still want to give it a try
You think I’m great / although I am the biggest loser in the world / you’re still my girl
Oooooo don’t ever leave me if you doooooo my heart and my soul
will both break in two, I couldn’t go through
I can’t live without you
I say stupid things all the time I can’t help it / the words just roll out of my head

Oooooo don’t ever leave me if you doooooo my heart and my soul
will both break in two, I couldn’t go through / I can’t live without you
Quiet
Don’t you tell me to be quiet
When I bark you can be sure there is a reason for it
Don’t you tell me to be quiet
Something’s very wrong, you know there is no doubt about it
No no no no no
No no no no no
No no no no no
No no no no
Don’t hold me back, just let me go

If you do just leave me to it
Don’t you tell me to be quiet
When I bark you can be sure there is a reason for it
Don’t you tell me to be quiet
Something’s very wrong, you know there is no doubt about it
No no no no no
No no no no no

No no no no
Don’t hold me back, just let me go
Sad Little Song
Let’s sing a sad little song
For all those people
Who do not know what they’re missing
I sing a sad little song
For they don’t know
Living without you is impossible, unbearable to me
Let’s sing a sad little song
Let’s sing a sad little song
