At sunrise, I want to pull the covers back over my head

Cause later when the sun goes down

We go to bed with the chickens

Then we act like the night owls

You know who aint doing no sleeping

When we're switching the lights out

Ain't no keeping hands of each other

Even though we go to bed with the chickens

Get out of my way, oh I can’t wait

I don’t wanna get home late
