Watch the clip “Song Of Sleep – Dave Thomas (Original Song)” as well as 100’s of similar movies which showcase the popular comedic characters of Doug and Bob.
Bob and Doug McKenzie in Song Of Sleep – Dave Thomas (Original Song)
In the video Song Of Sleep – Dave Thomas (Original Song), Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of odd Canadian actors who hosted “Great White North”, a improv which was included on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most popular season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in in the early 80s. Bob McKenzie is performed by the funny Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is played by actor Dave Thomas. The sketch was made originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and makes jokes about silly Canadian content statutes, the two transformed into a pop culture smash hit in both Canada and the US. The pair went on to become the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
I wrote this song the other day when I couldn’t sleep. It’s a live recording but the original video didn’t work as I was holding my phone up with tape… So now you have this wonderful version… Lyrics are below!

Capo 4
Verse: C Am C Am F G F G
Chorus: C Am F E7 C Am F G C
Verse 1:
I’ve been feeling kind of tired these couple weeks
I’ve been searching different ways to help me sleep
Every 2 steps forwards sends me back in leaps
Nights like tonight they break me down and make me weep
I’ve been reading all these books at night in bed
To try and stop the thoughts a-swirling in my head
It seems that all I need to do is watch my breath
I try a minute and it bores me half to death
Chorus:
Well I go to bed at 10 o’clock, I’m waking up at 3
Then I’m counting sheep until the dawn
When the world is waking up at 7 in the morn
Well by then I’m finally tired and I go to sleep
Verse 2:
They say the early bird will catch the worm
If that’s the case then it must surely be my turn
I’m up at 3am and waiting for my feast
But 2 hours later I’m still scrambling through the weeds
Chorus
Verse 3:
2 weeks later and its starting to come clear
I’ve found a way to get away from all my fears
After stumbling through the clouds and through the mist
The more I think, the more I see, we don’t exist
Chorus
