Nobody Gets Enough Rest

Many individuals have this week off from work.

Still, we too many people do not consistently get the rest and the deep sleep that they need. Here is my creation Nobody Gets Enough Rest (Jeff Davidson © 2024) based on the theme of Nobody Does It Better, original music by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Carol Bayer Sager, and sung by Carly Simon:

Nobody Gets Enough Rest

by Jeff Davidson © 2023

Nobody gets enough rest,
no one gets all that they need.
Too many people gyp their sleep time:  
When it comes to rest...  they're in neeeeeed...

I wasn't looking
but somehow they found me,
all of the things that lengthen my day aaaaaaaaay.
Like the TV above me
and the friends who love me,
up all night so we can play aaaaaaaaay.

Nobody gets enough rest,
no one gets all that they need.
Nobody takes enough naps, aaaand
sure enough, we're all in nee ee ee eeed.

Nobody gets enough rest,
no one sleeps all that they need.
Yet people come to work like its
some kind of brea ee ee ee ee eeze.

The way that it's going, all day-long going
there's got to be some kind of pau au au au ause,
That keeps us from running,
all 24 hours, disobeying nature's basic law aw aw aw aw.

Nobody gets enough rest,
no one gets all that they need.
Too many people gyp their sleep time:  
When it comes to rest...  they're in nee ee eed...
