 I can't sleep, I can't sleep
 My doctor said I've got to stay in bed
 A week at least, a week or three
 But that would drive me crazy
 My lawyer said my case is weak
 The witnesses refuse to speak
 And you're up against a hanging judge and jury
 The boss is on my back
 He says he feels there something lacking in the progress
 of my department
 My youngest boy, not yet thirteen
 Said Dad, drop out, this ain't your scene
 But my eldest boy just said, Dad, drop dead
 Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
 And they rarely go right for me
 Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
 And they rarely go right for me
 My mother says she's still alive
 Please call us up from time to time
 If it's not too much trouble
 It's for your father's sake
 My yoga class
 Said take the time to relax, relax, relax
 But we're dining out with the Shultzes tonight
 And I hate the Shultzes
 I never wake up in the morning
 'Cos I never go to sleep at night
 I go to bed, I take a powder
 Maybe tonight's the night
 All the cares of the day
 Seem to gather in a corner
 Like an army of ants
 Who are waiting for the moment when the lights go out
 I can't sleep, I can't sleep
 Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
 And they rarely go right for me
 Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
 And they rarely go right for me

My doctor said I've got to stay in bed
A week at least, a week or three
But that would drive me crazy
My lawyer said my case is weak
The witnesses refuse to speak
And you're up against a hanging judge and jury

The boss is on my back
He says he feels there something lacking in the progress
of my department
My youngest boy, not yet thirteen
Said Dad, drop out, this ain't your scene
But my eldest boy just said, Dad, drop dead

[Am/G] [G]

Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me

My mother says she's still alive
Please call us up from time to time
If it's not too much trouble
It's for your father's sake
My yoga class
Said take the time to relax, relax, relax
But we're dining out with the Shultzes tonight
And I hate the Shultzes

I never wake up in the morning
'Cos I never go to sleep at night
I go to bed, I take a powder
Maybe tonight's the night
All the cares of the day
Seem to gather in a corner
Like an army of ants
Who are waiting for the moment when the lights go out

I can't sleep, I can't sleep

Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
