Little Goodnight |
Jimmy met Mary on the Fourth of July |
Independence Day you shoulda' seen her brown eyes |
She came up from behind and stared tugging on his coat uh-huh |
When his fireworks blew she was pushing like a tug boat |
Nine months later they had a little sprite |
She was pretty as a sunset they named her Little Goodnight |
Now Little Goodnight she couldn’t sleep too well uh-uh |
Every night half the neighborhood could hear Jim and Mary tell her |
They said, go to sleep baby don’t cry |
Count sheep your mother and I |
Can’t keep it up |
If we don’t get some sleep |
Good night Little |
Good night Little |
Good night |
Little good night started staying up a lot |
With her big baby blues wide open like a rim shot |
Jim and Mary thought parenthood was 'sposed to be a joy uh-huh |
Started thinking bad thoughts started acting kinda paranoid |
Well they took her to the doctor they took her to the nurse |
There we potions recommended just like it was some kinda curse |
Jim and Mary loved Little Goodnight so much uh-huh |
But without those REMs they felt like they were losing touch |
They said, go to sleep baby don’t cry |
Count sheep your mother and I |
Can’t keep it up |
If we don’t get some sleep |
Good night Little |
Good night Little |
Good night |
You’ll have school one of these days |
And children of your own to raise |
In casual or business dress we have high hopes for you |
But Little Goodnight first you’ll need some rest |
Now there’s a woman on the street wrapped up in a blanket |
Clutching a portable tape deck she’s just about to crank it |
She’s listening to a song by miss Diana Ross uh-huh |
Singing «Dreams can come true» Jim and Mary keep their fingers crossed |
They said, go to sleep baby don’t cry |
Count sheep your mother and I |
Can’t keep it up |
If we don’t get some sleep |
Good night Little |
Good night Little |
Good night Little |
Good night Little |
Good night |
