The events in this song are based on a true story which is largely autobiographical.

The tracks.
Drums - RD Hip Hop
Bass - RT 1768
Rhythm guitar - RT 2403
Piano - Country Pop Ballad midi track
Trumpet - RT 1070
Other guitars, piano, percussion and vocals are me.

Everything from start to finish in Realband.

Just A Little Bit Longer
I was having such a good dream when I got the wake-up call
I picked up the alarm clock and I threw it against the wall
With a noise like that how could anyone sleep at all?
No, not a chance.

My wife it seems, she had other ideas instead
She just rolled right over and she kicked me out of bed
She said, "You're just so lazy and you're such a sleepy-head"
"Why don't you go to work".

And I said
"Let me sleep, just a little bit longer"
"Let me sleep, just a little bit longer"
"Let me sleep, just a little bit longer"
"Please!"

I still remember, when we were first wed
She used to bring me my breakfast in bed
Now it seems I've got to go to work instead
What went wrong? Oh what went wrong?

Hey, as usual, grateful to anyone who has the time to listen.

Cheers, ROG.

More genius from you ROG

I read the lyrics first and was intrigued

What a great chorus, and knockout instrumental. I really liked the way the verse is somewhat 'spoken' and the fade out of the chorus at the end. Top stuff.

Great fun song - sorry it's apparently true frown

ROG,

The opening is outstanding - ya had me dancing in my chair right off the bat... the guitar licks there were really nice...

Nice cadence to the lyric. Well executed.

The instrument drop out was especially well done....

Good mix. A fun listen. (several, actually)

ROG,

I laughed out loud because I say to myself "let me sleep just a little bit longer...please..." almost EVERY MORNING...LOL!

Fun and a great sounding track - creative and catchy. And oh so relatable.

Love it.

A nice fun entertaining song Rog with nice guitar lines, really enjoyed the listen.

Topical too, as someone who likes to pull the duvet over my head for an extra few mins.

Great pro mix as usual from you.

You sure put out some good stuff from that studio of yours.

you had me at the intro Rog! This is another highly infectious ROG number that appeals to something in all of us, I suspect! Who doesn't want to sleep just a little bit longer?

I can see this song really catching on if it got air play and a little PR!

I really like the irregular cadence of your vocal delivery... it's very natural and it breaks up the unfortunate sing-songy delivery that often goes along with metered rhyme.

As always, Rog, your songs are among my favourites on the forum, and this one is no exception! You inspire me in many ways, and I thank you for that.

Hi Trevor and many thanks for the review.

Yes, sadly it's all true! My wife says that if sleeping was in the Olympics I'd have a series of gold medals.

ROG,

You never fail to produce those original musical arrangements with a very creative twist and original choruses! On top of that the vocals are always top-notch.
This one is no exception.
Well done!

Hi Floyd.

Always pleased to hear your thoughts. Dancing in your chair? Now there's an image to conjure with!
Listening more than once is always an acceptable complement. Many thanks for that and the kind comments.

Josie! Laughing is good for the soul, so I'm glad it struck a chord with you. (Chord? Ha, see what I did there.) It's good to know I'm not the only one holding on to the duvet every morning! Many thanks for looking in and making me laugh too.
