A         D#m7-5 D             A
Once Eric said, "Come gather 'round
A            D#m7-5       D         F#
I'll tell a tale that is sure to astound"

A          D#m7-5
Un-somnambulist
D                B
That's awake, see, he don't sleep
          F#               A
Talking, taking no break, walking
                 D#m7-5  D
But you don't believe, oo-ooh
A                D#m7-5  D
No, you don't believe
                 A
No, you don't believe

As to his fame, well, he has two claims
He is a Don and as well a Captain

Un-somnambulist
He was awake, see, for eighty-five weeks
With no sleep, it's crazy maybe
But you don't believe, oo-ooh
No, you don't believe
No, you don't believe

They called him freak and he lost all his friends
Could only speak to the boys in the band

Un-somnambulist
You stay awake and see what happens
Eighty-five weeks with no napping
But you don't believe, oo-ooh
No, you don't believe
No, you don't believe
Please will you listen to what then did occur?
The world to him was all covered in fur

Un-somnambulist
Let me explain, see the fur changed to wood grain
In everything, can you believe it?
But you don't believe, oo-ooh
No, you don't believe
No, you don't believe

No, you don't believe, oo-ooh
No, you don't believe
No, you don't believe
