Verse 1: I got rid of my jackets and coats I threw out all of my pants I got sick of my stinkin' clothes I had to get rid of them Climb: I'm knot yet considering replacing them I'm only glad to be rid of them Chorus: Rest awhile Rest awhile Verse 2: I lay out in the sun too long And burned off all of my skin I felt so dizzy I got into the car And got into an accident Climb: Out of the burning wreckage I fell Wanting only to lay where I fell Chorus: Rest awhile Rest awhile Rest awhile! Verse 3: I became friendly with Ruy Lopez The author of works on chess Ruy said you're incorrect He cut me off and acted mad Climb: He won't even talk to me now But I don't care 'cause I'm sick of that guy Chorus: And I need to rest a while Rest a while
