Rewriting songs to keep myself awake...

1:30am - to the tune of "I'm Sorry" by Brenda Lee

I'm sorry, so sorry
That I came to work tonight.
I didn't know
I'd be in this plight.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh-oh, (yawn).

You tell me being sleepy
Is part of working late.
But, that don't make it easy
For me to stay awake.

(I'm sorry) I'm tired,
(So sorry) So tired.
Please, just let me go to bed.
It's time for lunch now,
And I can sleep, so it's said.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh-oh, oh yes.

(ok, I know it's not very good, but I'm not doing this to get admiration. So, if you don't like it, STOP READING NOW, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!)

3:45am - "Walkin after Midnight"

I got out workin' after midnight
Here in the dim light,
Just waitin' for the dawn.
I'm always workin' after midnight
Time's draggin on.

I work for hours during the night time
Well, that's the right time
For a normal girl to doze.
I'm always workin' after midnight
Time must be froze.

I stop to take a little nappy,
Feeling pretty crappy,
People won't leave me alone.
And then I start to wonder,
Perhaps I've made a blunder.
Why didn't I stay at home?

But I'm here workin' after midnight
Still in the dim light
Just hopin' that maybe
Tomorrow you'll work after midnight
I'll be asleep.

I'm rather fond of that one particularly the bridge. But, I think I'd better let my creative juices regenerate before I attempt any more.
Wish me luck. I have four hours left of my shift, but from 6-8am, I'm the only one here...zzzzz. :)
