Lyrics

I've been up for such a long while
My brains are fried up; My work is piled up
I'm feeling kinda cranky. I just might snap
I guess it's time to take a nap.

The work-a-holic life is not for me.
My head is frazzled; can't take the hassle
I'm totally strung out. I just might snap
I guess it's time to take a nap.

Chorus: Oh if only I could catch a few zzz's
whooaa Give me a hammock between two trees
Or just a few minutes in my recliner
I can't think of anything finer
My jaw's gonna drop; my head starts to nod
I know it's time to rest my bod.
So gimme a break; I'm at the end of my fuse
I've just got to take a snooze.

Go get 'em; Work hard; American dream
I tell ya honey; We all need money
But when you're exhausted, your strength is zapped
You know you've got to take a nap. CHORUS

God says He'll give His beloved sleep
There's none that's wiser; He's my Advisor
So when you're worn out and just might snap (snap, snap, snap)
Darlin', won't you take a nap? CHORUS

Vocals and harmonies and very nice.

Country track with a funny vibe. The hook works well and the song's theme is rather original. The guitar arpeggios aren't original but it's well played. Nice vocals with harmonies on some parts

Nicely performed folk. Good lyrics that are delivered very well. Pro production. Well done

She's prancing down the road of life with that never ending positive rainbow of musical love!

get those kids down for a nap.......

A good kid's song, but also sweet song for a guy like me, who's 67, LOL!

Good song. The lyrics are particularly strong, very entertaining. Great use of rhyme and imagery. Compelling vocal delivery which is well complemented by the acoustic arrangement. A catchy melody and chord progression. Very nicely recorded.

Very cute, witty and well done piece. Really good work, both musically and lyrically.

A very catchy track! I'm going for a nap now!! The hook stays with you! The vocals, harmony, are really enjoyable, as with the instruments.

unusual arrangement, great lyrics,appealing voice, nice harmonies, could be used in a comedy movie scene.

Very good lyrics, great voice. Really enjoyed the tune.

Good novelty number,performed well in that light..fun

i like your voice

Nice tune. Very different from what we hear on the radio. I like this kind of stuff. It would work well in a play. Simple, but very fitting instrumentation, and it works also. I'm thinking I've reviewed your music before, or something very similar........Cool arrangement and vocals. It all blends together as it's supposed to. I'd like to hear the singer on a different style of music, because I think she has a good vocal range....The lyrics sound fresh to me. They set the rhythm of the song and create a momentum that carries throughout the entire song. Takes the listener along for the ride. Don't know the market potential for this kind of music, but I suspect within its own genre this song is about as good as any of its competitors.

Keep on Keepin on!

A lot of atmosphere in this song and a great touch of humor.
Clear vocals and great harmonies with a kind of vintage feel.
Generally well-engineered lyrics.

Cute quirky lyrics and vocal styling. Fun to listen to... you want to feel bad for the singer with all that going on but you just can't help but smile and laugh. Nice job keeping it light!
