Bring me some whiskey, mother
I’m feeling frisky, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
I need a lover, mother
No, not my brother, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!

Gerbils don’t make it, mother
They just can’t take it, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
Owls, bats and other critters
Just tend to give me the jitters
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!

Sheep never talk about it
They never doubt it
Always so placid, affectionate and nice!
Give me that lanolin
Better than flannel-in
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night!
