Jewel - Sara Swan Sleepy Head lyrics

Sara the swan let out a big yawn
And headed to the bathroom sink
In the mirror she stared for a while there
It seemed like a good place to think

She had a strange feeling was she dreaming
The light so strangely gleaming

There’s a knock at the door
A funny suit Sammy wore
And on his face an ear to ear grin
He said Sara, dear
I could use your help here
Please won't you let me in

Then her mom said
Get out of bed Sara Swan sleepy head
The day light is burning while
The clock hands are turning
But this dreaming Sara said
Is better than what I have
The world when I sleep
Is the one I want to keep oh get out of bed
Sara Swan sleepy head

Back in her dream she went running
To answer the door lickity split
And still waiting by with a patch on his eye
Stood Sammy all of two foot six

Adventure reflected in the pool of his eyes
Sara let out an audible sigh

With the sword in his hand
He gave the command
Before she could count to ten
The pirates were there
With knots and beads in their hair
Like rats they came pouring in

Then her mom said
Get out of bed Sara Swan sleepy head
The day light is burning while
The clock hands are turning
But this dreaming Sara said
Is better than what I have
The world when I sleep
Is the one I want to keep oh get out of bed
Sara Swan sleepy head

Back in dream land sammy took her hand
And led her to a safe hiding place
But the coast was not clear
And Sara Swan, she could hear
The heavy boot steps of someone giving chase
Her heart was beating fast
She feared it would jump right
Out of her chest

She was confronted
With a sword that was pointed
It no longer seemed like play
She let out a scream
Said "But this is just a dream"
And that's when she heard the pirate say

You best get out of bed Sara Swan sleepy head
The day light is burning while
The clock hands are turning
This time Sara said
"Being awake is best instead
The world when I sleep
Is not the one I want to keep"

That's how Sara Swan finally got out of bed
They no longer call her
Sara Swan sleepy head

She got out of bed sara the swan
Doesn't lay all day in bed
She gets up instead
