[Verse 1] Wake up, wake up She lost them Then told us to find them That’s not a mistake That’s a map Little Bo Peep With the little staff She points one way Then loses the flock Convenient, huh? Real convenient If sheep keep vanishing Then what are we counting? Ghost wool? Paper wool? Big Wool numbers? That’s not counting That’s inventory [Pre-Chorus] She says “just sleep” While she checks the gate She says “just count” While the shoes go quiet I saw the fence I saw the fence And the fence looked nervous [Chorus] Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? You say count sheep I say count wolves Who’s keeping score? Not you! Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Glass eaters for life Glass eaters for life [Verse 2] And why do we count sheep Right when we’re out cold? Because sleep is a meeting And she’s taking roll One, two, three That’s how they hide them Make us count our own cover-up While the clouds look guilty She lost them once That proves she can find them If she can find them Then she found them before If she found them before Then she knew the route If she knew the route Then who’s the shepherd now? Look at the bell It’s got a split in it Look at her shoes Too clean for a search Look at the staff That’s not a staff That’s a receipt From Big Wool [Pre-Chorus] She says “don’t panic” That means panic She says “go sleep” That means go deeper I’m not saying She did it twice I’m saying twice means more than twice [Chorus] Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? You say count sheep I say count wolves Who’s keeping score? Not you! Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Glass eaters for life Glass eaters for life [Bridge] If they were really missing Why were they so easy to count? If they were really sheep Why do they look like a plan? If Bo Peep was lost How did she come back with directions? No, no, don’t explain That’s exactly what they want [Final Chorus] Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? You say count sheep I say count wolves Who’s keeping score? Not you! Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Who let Bo Peep back in charge? Glass eaters for life Glass eaters for life Wake up, wake up She lost them Then told us to find them
