Ooo, little sleepy boy, do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past
And though I know you're fightin' it, I can tell when you rub your eyes
You're fading fast, oh, fading fast
Won't you run, come see St. Judy's Comet roll across the skies?
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
I long to see St. Judy's Comet, sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake
Little boy, won't you lay your body down?
Little boy, won't you close your weary eyes?
Ain't nothing flashin' but the fireflies
Well I sang it once and I sang it twice, I'm going to sing it three times more
I'm going to stay 'til your resistance is overcome
'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep
Well it makes your famous daddy look so dumb, I look so dumb
Won't you run, come see St. Judy's Comet roll across the skies?
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
I long to see St. Judy's Comet sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake
Little boy, little boy, won't you lay your body down?
Little boy, little boy, won't you close your weary eyes?
Ain't nothing flashin' but the fireflies
Ooo, little sleepy boy, do you know what time it is?
Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past
And though I know you're fightin' it, I can tell when you rub your eyes
That you're fading fast, ooo, fading fast
