"Don't wake me up!"


Knowing what I know now, I find it pretty amazing that anyone actually manages to go on to have a second, or third,or fourth child. When they arrive, wonderful and life affirming as they are, their existence takes a very big wet bite out of the amount and quality of sleep you will have from sleep 1 until.... oh I imagine they move out anything from 18 to 35 years later.

This song is about the most secret of societies "The Dad night feed club". I have a mate whose about to become a Dad. His life is about to change and improve in so many ways.

He's going to learn so much about himself and also what is really important in life. He's going to learn so many new valuable skills. 

He's also going to have to learn how to get all the sleep he needs for a full day, leaning against the fridge in the middle of the night in the time it takes for bottles sterilize in a microwave.

I hope you enjoy the song and please subscribe to my Utube channel if it amused you.

All the best

Making my way to the kitchen
 Guided by a bathroom light
I can't tell how much sleep I will get
Ten minutes is a start
Even if it’s not your turn to do feed
You’re only as strong as the team
Does this count as sleep
if I don't open up my eyes
Great! I now need a wee
So wake me up if he starts snuffling
Stealing covers makes me colder
All this time I thought I was in charge,
Didn't realise you’re the boss
Wake me up when you’re worrying about childcare
Whisper my name or tap my shoulder
“A worry shared” should be put straight in the vows
and I’m not allowed to get cross

I tried carrying drinks for everyone
 But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to drink warm tea again
there’s very little chance
Please let me sleep just a little longer
Put my hands over my face
I hear my son pushing chairs on the floor
Shreddies now all over the place

Please let me sleep five minutes longer
Me and Bond Girls doing the conga
A job to test Go Pros in the sea
They sent a HERO 7 BLACK

Please let me sleep just one snooze longer
It will probably make our marriage stronger
I’ll do the bins and bath and bed time all week
I didn't know you were the boss 
I didn't know you’re the boss 
I didn't know you’re the boss 
I didn't know you’re the boss
