Funny things happen to a brain around 3am, especially when your kid has been on a Frozen kick, and you’ve been listening to the songs on repeat for 2 straight months. Any adult who has lived through an Arandelle addiction can attest to how the songs go from pretty to psychosis-inducing at an alarmingly rapid rate. Since convincing our kids to listen to anything else is the definition of impossible, as the song Do You Wanna Build A Snowman asks, what are we going to do? Write a parody, naturally.
Do You Wanna Take An Ambien
(Cough, cough, twitch, snore, roll, sigh)
Do you wanna take an Ambien?
You’ve been working hard all day
You never sleep well anymore
Close the door
Come on let’s sail away
Sleep used to come so easy
But now it’s hard
I wish someone could tell me why?
Should I maybe take this Ambien?
It doesn’t have to be an Ambien.
Okay it does, I lied.
Do you want to take an Ambien?
We could sleep walk to the mall
Or shave the cat and make some tasty food
I have a liverwurst and some milk from my boob
We could roll it into balls-
(No seriously, try it!)
It gets a little boring
Just laying in bed
Watching the hours tick by
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)
Do you wanna take an Ambien?
It’s a legal way to get high.
Sleep?
You fickle little rat turd
Why have you bailed on me again?
They say “take melatonin” and I’ve tried that, too
It tastes like licking a poopy shoe, so I threw it in the bin.
I need you sleep, now more than ever
I miss your embrace
What are we going to do?
Do you wanna take an Ambien?
To which the only answer would be a resounding, “HELL YES!” If only I wasn’t pregnant…
Hahaha! This is priceless! I can almost hear the background music to go with it 😝 My toddler is obsessed with minions these days and I swear those little yellow creatures are driving me crazy!

We haven’t Minioned yet, but I’m scared. For now it’s a twisted combination of Frozen and The Little Mermaid, but I’m sure we will get to your level soon enough! 🙂

Oh yes. Except I’d want to give it to my toddler and three-month-old, both of whom are refusing to sleep!

Well now that’s always an option 😉

Catchy! You’re hilarious. Liverwurst/breastmilk balls sound…interesting. (You haven’t actually tried that have you??)

In my 3am mind perhaps… But real life not so much 🙂

I’m relieved to hear it! Hope you get some sleep soon. You need to start banking sleep hours.

Yeah, that combo might scare a few people…myself included 😉 And thanks!
