Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(7-A)
(What number is this tune?)
(7-A)
(Okay, don't get excited, man, it's 'cause I'm short, I know)
[Verse 2]

But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold, and it stings
[Verse 3]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a

Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?
[Verse 5]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?
[Verse 6]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?
[Verse 7]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?
[Verse 8]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?
[Verse 9]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
