Time's getting on
And the singing of this song
Is to trick you into sleeping sound
The day's getting long
And the singing of this song
Is to trick you into sleeping sound
It's late you see, it's late for thee
It's even getting late, getting late for pa and me
Nobody's going anywhere else
Not going to leave you here by yourself
Time's getting on
And the singing of this song
Is to trick you into sleeping sound
The day's getting long
And the singing of this song
Is to trick you into sleeping sound
