Yes, I´ve read the morning papers
Telling me that you´ve made money
Do you think I´m gonna crawl, then think again

Though I´m dressed in rags, I´m richer

Though I eat from tins, I´m healthier
Though I live in slums, I´m purer than you, my friend

Too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep
[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend

Look around and see the friends
The ones you left, our friends deserted
See the guys that used to talk and drink with you

Don´t look down your nose at me
´Cause I won´t ask your sympathy
I won´t be your yes-sir man for anything

Too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep

[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend

I would walk with you
Talk with you, drink with you
If you drop that halo that you´re wearing on the ground

Too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep
[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend

I can´t get my satisfaction
Knowing you won´t get reaction
What makes me the big attraction anyway

It´s too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep
[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend

Too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep
[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend
Oh, it´s too bad, I´m not losing sleep
[Too bad] I´m just counting sheep
[Too bad] I´m not losing sleep, my friend
