Song lyrics

Seven days of Saturday

Is all that I need

Got no use for Sunday

'Cause I don't rest in peace

Don't need no Mondays

Or the rest of the week

I spend a lot of time in bed

But baby I don't like to sleep

No


I won't lie to you

I'm never gonna cry to you

I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week


Until I'm six-feet under

Baby I don't need a bed

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

'Til they roll me over

And lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead


So you're looking for some action

I got everything you need

Better keep your motor running

'Cause I was built for speed

This ain't no slumber party

Got no time for catching z's

If they say that that ain't healthy

Well then living's a disease


We're never gonna die baby

Come on let me drive you crazy

We'll make every night another New Year's Eve


'Til I'm six-feet under, baby

I won't need a bed

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

'Til they roll me over

And lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead


Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Seven days of Saturday

Is all that I need


Got no use for Sunday

'Cause I don't rest in peace

I was born to live

You know I wasn't born to die

But if they party down in heaven

I'll be sure to be on time


Until I'm six-feet under, baby

I don't need a bed

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

'Til they roll me over

And lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead


I feel like I'm exploding

Going out of my head

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead


'Til I'm six-feet under

And they lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead


Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead

Gonna live while I'm alive, sleep when I'm dead
