When Trouble Sleeps, You Don't Have To Wake Him
When Trouble sleeps, you don't have to wake him
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find
(Trouble, he's going to get you ohh)
Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble)
When the cat sleeps, the rat will bite his tail
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find
(Trouble, he's going to get you ohh)
Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble)

He sat down at home
He was thinking about food
Mister Landlord came and woke him up
He said, "Mister, pay me your rent"
Wait until he finds you

Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble, he's going to get you)
My friend just got out of prison
He was looking for work
Walking and walking day and night
A policeman came and stopped him on the road
He said, "Mister, I'm charging you with vagrancy"
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find
(Trouble, he's going to get you ohh)
Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble)
The husband got married at church
He threw a big party
Then he started to shower money over the guests
Because he loved his wife
"Wife, come run away"

He said, "Mister, pay me your debt"
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find
(Trouble, he's going to get you ohh)
Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble)
When Trouble sleeps, you don't have to wake him
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find

When the cat sleeps, the rat will bite his tail
Wait until he finds you
Trouble, he does find
(Trouble, he's going to get you ohh)
Trouble, he's going to get
(Trouble, he's going to get you)
