Come Together Parody - You Are Snoring

I wrote this parody while I was in Minnesota, finding it hard to sleep at two in the morning (big surprise right?). But there was a good reason for why I was awake this time. It was my father.


On trips I have taken over my life - camping, famiy vacations, other miscellaneous - I could almost never fall asleep while my father was there. The reason: he snores so freakin' loud! I honestly have no idea how my mother sleeps through it! Anyway, I was woken up by his snoring, and I couldn't fall back asleep because of all the noise. I started saying to myself "You are snoring so loud that I can't sleep." Come Together by the Beatles was in my head all day and it was so that night too. So that one line fell into place; I just had to remove "that". Then the first line came naturally since it was true. I knew I had to write down my thoughts before I forgot them, and let's face it, I had nothing better to do. So, not wanting to wake my parents both up by turning on the room/bed light, I locked myself in the bathroom and wrote down the song.
First verse and chorus was spontaneous, second verse was easy, third I had to think of a bit, last verse was easy. It doesn't all fit exactly syllable for syllable, but it fits for the melody given.

You Are Snoring

I'm just lying here thinking
"What should I do now?"
Thinking "What can I do now?"
Cause I can't go to sleep. I say
It just is no use
I can't go to sleep with all of this noise abuse.

It's heavy breathing.
It's na-sil congestion
It's your sleeping siren
It's your sleeping wail.
Every one will know you're asleep
Everyone will hear because they themselves can't sleep.
You are snoring so loud; I can't sleep.

You must rollover
You are sleeping on your back
You need to sleep on your side
Apparently you won't snore like that
I really don't care how it works
I just know hearing you all night does not have it's perks.
You are snoring so loud; I can't sleep.

When will morning come?
I wish it was here right now
I can't wait for it all night
Can't stay awake all night
I need to get and wear earplugs next time
Sleeping through the night; oh! it would be so sublime
You are snoring so loud; I cant sleep.

You are snoring. Yeah
You are snoring. Yeah
You are snoring. Yeah
You are snoring. Yeah
You are snoring. Yeeaahh.
You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.
You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.
Uugghh...
You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.
