[Intro]
Come on girls what ya gonna do

[Verse 1]
Oh I could hide
'Neath the wings of the bluebird
As she sings
Six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razors cold and it stings

[Chorus]
Cheer up sleepy jean
Oh, what can it mean?
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up sleepy jean
Oh, what can it mean?
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

[Verse 2]
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed
Now you know how happy I can be
And our good times start and end
Without a dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need

[Chorus]
Cheer up sleepy jean
Oh, what can it mean?
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up sleepy jean
Oh, what can it mean?
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

Atomic Kitten are an English girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 and put together by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. The original line-up consisted of Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range. Range was later replaced by Natasha Hamilton and eventually went on to join Sugababes.

The group’s debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. “Whole Again” (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful song when it topped the UK singles chart for four weeks and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost’s vocals. In the UK, the album hit number one, going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.
