Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
Well I wanted a good bed for to rest me poor auld head.
So I travelled all of Ireland trying to find one.
Then I met with Mattress Mick.
He says the mattress does the trick.
Come on inside me shop an’ take your pick.
So I went inside the door.
Never seen so many beds before.
Then Mick turned around to me an’ said.
Chorus
Two things in life that you can’t do with out,
Sure I heard it from me mother.
A good pair of shoes and as nice snug bed,
‘Cause if your not in one yer own the other.
So if you want a real good bed,
Call round to Mattress Mick.
Don’t mind about the fancy headboard,
It’s the mattress dose the trick.
Well Mick say’s he ta me,
Come long now an’ we’ll see.
What you need to look for in a mattress.
He says the best thing you can do,
Is lie down there on a few.
Take your time an’ pick out what suits you.
Chorus
Two things in life that you can’t do with out,
Sure I heard it from me mother.
A good pair of shoes and as nice snug bed,
‘Cause if your not in one yer own the other.
So if you want a real good bed,
Call round to Mattress Mick.
Don’t mind about the fancy headboard,
It’s the mattress dose the trick.
Well I spent an hour or more,
Testing beds around the store.
I know now what to look for in a mattress.
If you want a good nights rest,
Pocket springs now are the best.
But it’s the memory foam that I’ll be bringin’ home.
Chorus
Two things in life that you can’t do with out,
Sure I heard it from me mother.
A good pair of shoes and as nice snug bed,
‘Cause if your not in one yer own the other.
So if you want a real good bed,
Call round to Mattress Mick.
Don’t mind about the fancy headboard,
It’s the mattress dose the trick.
No its not the fancy headboard,
It’s the mattress does the trick.
