Once Eric said
Come gather around
I'll tell a tale

That is sure to astound

Un-somnambulist

That's awake see
He don't sleep
Talking taking no break

Walking
But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x2)


As to his fame well
He has two claims

He is a Don
And as well a Captain


Un-somnambulist
He was awake see
For eighty-five weeks

With no sleep
It's crazy maybe
But you don't believe

No you don't believe (x2)

They called him freak

And he lost all his friends
Could only speak
To the boys in the band


Un-somnambulist
You stay awake and see

What happens every eighty-five weeks
With no napping
But you don't believe

No you don't believe (x2)

Please will you listen

To what then did occur?
The world to him
Was all covered in fur


Un-somnambulist
Let me explain

See the fur
Changed to wood grain
Everything can you believe it?

But you don't believe
No you don't believe (x5)
