(D. Wall/A. Whiteman) I ain't got nothing on my plate Please let me sleep in late No catfish biting at my bait Please let me sleep in late Feel like I'm standing at St. Peter's gates Please let me sleep in late Don't know the time, I don't know the date Please let me sleep in late Gonna lay right down here in my cozy bed Well I might be dreaming, you know I might be dead Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight Please let me sleep in late I ain't time for love and hate Please let me sleep in late For when the sun begins to rise I don't want to see it through my tired eyes. Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight Please let me sleep in late I ain't got nothing on my plate Please let me sleep in late Don't know the time, or the date Please let me sleep in late
