Dave Frishberg Z's
Well I don't need no vitamins or tonics
Or hormones off some monkey in the trees
I don't need no high or low colonics
Or jelly from royal honeybees
I got to get me some z's
Oh I don't need no Turkish bath or sauna
I don't want no pills from no M.D.s
I could stay awake but I don't wanna
'Cut I'd be walking around on my knees
I got to get me some z's
I'm talking 'bout z's
For zipping up those raveled sleeves of care
Z's, to mend a mind in disrepair
Oh I don't need no heavy conversation
Aint got wind enough to shoot the breeze
I don't need no free association
With some Beverley Hills Viennese
I got to get me some z's
Now I can dig exactly where my head's at
I can diagnose my own disease
Just lock me up and leave me where my bed's at
With a sign that says 'go away please'
This man is getting some z's
I peak in the mirror, my face is frozen
Like a man who's dying by degrees
Looks as if my eyes are almost closing
I'm beginning to look Japanese
I better get me some z's
I'm talking 'bout z's
For zipping up those raveled sleeves of care
Z's, to mend a mind in disrepair
I don't want no whiskey or no highballs
I don't need no headaches or DTs
Dig these satchels underneath these eyeballs
If I'm going to get rid of these
I better get me some z's
I better get me some z's
I better get me some z's
Good night
