Written in Buffalo, NY, for my band at the time, Extra Cheese.

1. I was walking down the street, lookin down at my feet
When I saw a scene arising in my doorway
It was that little mama, she's the cause of all my trauma
And she's knows how to do it in more ways

bridge: So I said, c'mon inside, she just said, take a ride
Don't you know you can't flow against the tide?

chorus: Let sleepin dogs lie, or they'll hit you in the eye
Let sleepin dogs lie, just find some other kind of alibi

2. I said, hey mama, what you tryin to lay on me?
This jive is drivin me crazy
I've been down in the mines where the sun never shines, and
I got a bag of gold dust upon me

repeat bridge and chorus
