I Never Want to Go to Bed by Kenn Nesbitt

I never want to go to bed. I like to stay up late. I'm bouncing off the bedroom walls and, frankly, feeling great!  I'm dancing like a maniac instead of counting sheep. My mom says, "Time for bed." My dad yells, "Get your butt to sleep!"  I'm not sure what my bottom has to do with anything, but that's okay because I'd rather jump around and sing.  I don't know what it was that made me feel so wide awake. Could it have been the Red Bull and the double-chocolate cake?  I wonder if the seven cups of coffee plus dessert of Hershey bars and Skittles are what left me this alert?  Whatever it turns out to be that made me feel this right, I hope I track it down so I can stay up every... ZZZzzzzz
