Drip Drip Drip    Al Simmons/Ken Whiteley    

On my back in my bed 

Trying to take a nap 

All I hear in my head's 

The dripping of a tap 

To remedy my problem 

I know what is required 

Get up and turn the tap off 

But I am too darned tired 

Drip drip drip 

It isn't fair it isn't right 

Drop drop drop 

I've been awake for half the night 

Drip drip drip 

I wonder if it's cold or hot 

Drop drop drop 

I guess the washer must be shot 

It's been dripping just like that 

Since long before last summer 

If I could reach the telephone 

I would call a plummer 

Wide awake I'm wondering 

Has my mind gone numb 

I want to sleep to the beat 

Of a different drum 

Drip drip drip 

Drip drop dripping down the drain 

Drop drop drop 

Drip drop driving me insane 

Drip drip drip 

Incessant rhythm in my brain 

Drop drop drop 

This water torture's inhumane 

Relentless rhythm (drip drip) 

Constant cadence (drop drop) 

Won't somebody make it stop 

Louder louder (drip drip) 

Hammer hammer (drop drop) 

Please please make it stop 

All right already I give up 

I'll turn it off myself 

No wait a minute listen 

It stopped all by itself 

I wonder why the dripping stopped 

It quit - without me knowing 

Is my sink completely full? 

Or is it overflowing? 

Drip drip drip 

Ah that's a reassuring sound 

Drop drop drop 

I was afraid I might have drowned 

Drip drip drip 

With every drip I heave a sigh 

Drop drop drop 

And every drop's a lullaby 

Ah that peacefully pure pulsating palpitation 

is positively pacifying.
