Last night you know I couldn't sleep
I was tossing, turning, and counting sheep
To tell the truth

The next thing I knew

I woke up on the outside

In the middle of the avenue

A policeman spied me traffic there

In my t-shirt and my underwear
He said, son, son

It sure don't look good

The way you've been calling for your baby

All over the neighborhood

It seems I was sleepwalking

Again last night

The way I was sweet talking

It must have caused a terrible fright
Last night when I was sleepwalking

Someone saw me at a doughnut shop

I was sitting, crying on a tabletop
It was not a pretty sight

I was out of control

The way that I was carrying on

About my sweet jelly roll

I said officer please

My baby's got me down on my knees

Lying in bed

Late at night

Sometimes I just go out of my head
At night
And I go out sleepwalking

Later on down at the jail cell

I was hoping things would turn out well
Because I don't recall

That masquerade ball

And I don't remember nothing y'all

About that blown up rubber doll

It seems I was sleepwalking

Again last night

The way I was sweet talking

It must have caused a terrible fright

Last night when I was sleepwalking

So lately I've stopped going anywhere

And I've taken to sleeping with a teddy bear
It's a very full and rich

Imaginary life

And it's sure enough better than dreaming y'all

About any imaginary wife

No more sleepwalking

No more dream talking

No more sleepwalking

No more sleep talking
