4. The Nightmare Song - from Iolanthe by Gilbert & Sullivan

“When you’re lying awake  
With a dismal headache  
And repose is taboo’d by anxiety  
I conceive you may use  
Any language you choose  
To indulge in, without impropriety;  
For your brain is on fire  
The bedclothes conspire  
Of usual slumber to plunder you:  
First your counterpane goes  
And uncovers your toes  
And your sheet slips demurely from under you”
