The show begins quietly with an unnamed construction worker singing this song as he gets to work in the morning and wishes he were still at home.
I feel like I'm not out of bed yet
Ah!
Oh, the sun is warm
But my blanket's warmer
Sleep, sleep, in your lady's arms
I left my old woman still sleeping
Oh!
Oh, the air is sweet
But my woman's sweeter
Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms
All night I was walkin' the baby
Wah!
Oh, his eyes are blue
But her eyes are bluer
Sleep, sleep in your lady's arms
