Lyrics

I am an unresponsive lump I’ve hit the dreaded post lunch slump
No use in giving me a shake There’s not enough coffee to keep me awake

I guess I’m feeling overtired I am lethargic, uninspired
But though I know what is at stake There’s not enough coffee to keep me awake

My Body’s crying out for sleep No need to count how many sheep
My brain just needs to take a break There’s not enough coffee to keep me awake

I ‘m overdosing on caffeine But I’m still tired, know what I mean
There’s not much more that I can take There’s not enough coffee to keep me awake

My eyes are heavy brain is slow My vision blurred I’m on skid row
Can’t tll if this is real or fake There’s not enough coffee to keep me awake

Fantastic opening line - I completely relate to being a post-lunch "unresponsive lump"! The lyrics are so clever, and the gentle melody is almost like a lullaby - perfect for the theme. Great skirmishing - thanks for participating!

Fun to listen to your take on the prompt. Slow pace makes it even more humorous and easy going. Very enjoyable listen.

Nice to have a song about the afternoon slump. The rhymes and hyperbole go together perfectly.

Love the slow pace and the laid-back way you sang your song as a musical metaphor for being tired and at the end of your rope. An enjoyable listen!
