(Inspired by and so credited to "The Dave Clark Five" and my version of the words to their tune, 'Red Balloon')
sleepy head in the afternoon
'day is over far too soon
putting the beer away.
Up and down the right arm goes
up and down the highs and lows
the higher then the bar 'tab' goes
another wasted day.
In and out the deserted squares
up and down the wooden stairs
knocking over noisy chairs
a house in disarray.
In and out of consciousness
up and down but never-the-less
across the step once more digress
the glass in hand betrays
In and out of the 'Red Balloon'
sleepy head in the afternoon
the end is coming very soon
as I lye in a daze
