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
