By my side in the eiderdown
But she can't get a ticket to Morningtown
As I've got restless legs
Boring though this fool may be
Slumber still won't visit me
As long as you stay next to me
For I have restless legs
Milky drink of Sudafed
That should sort you out she said
As I kicked myself clean out of the bed
Grazed my restless legs
Homepathic cures I've sought
All in all they've come to naught
I wish it was some astronaut
Who had these restless legs
Four oh six and I'm wide awake
I've got an uncontrollable urge to take
A five mile hike around the Ogwen Lake
Stretch these restless legs
No sympathy from Uncle Greg
Nor indeed from Aunty Meg
Thank God I'm not Jake the Peg
With an extra restless leg
So come the day when I don't exist
And worms are flying through the graveyard mist
Don't go bothering the exorcist
It's just my restless legs
