The Siesta Song

Joe and his chums' second stop is on Venus at siesta time.  Everyone is asleep except for Citizen 1 who patrols to make sure verything is nice and quiet.  Of course Joe and his chums disturb the peace and are chased away.

Verse 1 – The Company
Amongst the bustle of everyday life we need a time for peace,
So every morning around this time, we gather here to sleep,
We can relax and we recline, rekindle our lost power,
We sit and snooze and doze awhile in out siesta hour

Chorus
Sleep in the Venusian style
Rest your weary limbs awhile
Snooze your Monday blues away
Sleep today

Verse 2 – Solo
Through the siesta I walk around, the keeper of the peace,
Ensuring no one makes a sound, no one can sing or speak,
But, all this snoring, it gets me down, I find it hard to take,
The only person around in the town, the only one awake.

Chorus
Sleep in the Venusian style
Rest your weary limbs awhile
Snooze your Monday blues away
Sleep today

Verse 3 – The Company
We love to spend our siesta time here in the market place,
The atmosphere is calm and sublime, your problems drift away,
Peace and quiet here can be found in this serene domain,
Take off your shoes and settle down, take forty winks today!

Chorus
Sleep in the Venusian style
Rest your weary limbs awhile
Snooze your Monday blues away
Sleep today
