I need a hit record but I'm on the case Laying in bed with a smile on my face Resting my fingers, saving my voice 'Cause paying my dues is not my first choice I've got a method that's worked in the past Some say it's crazy, depends who you ask I've never been one for beating down doors There's an easier way to win a Grammy award I'm Sleeping my way to the top Nodding off and napping a lot In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop Sleeping my way to the top Who needs talent when you've got great hair I could tune my voice and the crowd won't care Never played piano, barely pick a guitar
But under the covers I'm a rising star Sleeping my way to the top Nodding off and napping a lot In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop Sleeping my way to the top Someday soon when I wake up I'll be at number one 'Cause every dog must have his day And mine is gonna come I'm sleeping my way to the top Nodding off and napping a lot In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop The radio's playing my songs non-stop Rolling Stone's calling me the King of Pop I'm sleeping my way to the top Sleeping my way to the top
