Lyrics:

(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
