The Cheese

V1.

Sleepin’ in on a Sunday morn

Hiding out from the daylight

We drank too much and played too hard

Into the wee hours of the night

I saw sun rise on my way in

I ain’t about to take the bait

I won’t be up by check out time

Book the room for another day

Chorus

Don’t talk to me ‘bout early risers

I’ll get up when I please

The early bird might get the worm

But the second mouse gets the cheese

V2.

Asked for a 7 o’clock wake-up call

Clerk said it’s already past that time

I said I’ll catch the next one

It comes after dinner time.

Climbing into bed to rest my head

And take some aspirin for the aches

By 7 bells I’ll be feeling well

Ready to headline the main stage

Chorus

Don’t talk to me ‘bout early risers

I’ll get up when I please

The early bird might get the worm

But the second mouse gets the cheese

Bridge

Cheesin’ for the camera

Takin’ selfies with the fans

Life tastes better without the worms

Cheesin’ fits best with my plans

Chorus

Don’t talk to me ‘bout early risers

I’ll get up when I please

The early bird might get the worm

But the second mouse gets the cheese
