Dance Myself to Sleep

Sometimes I have trouble
Falling asleep
But it's not so bad (You need sometime to sleep)

I don't worry
And I don't weep
In fact I'm glad

Because I get up off my pillow
And I flip on the light
I get down and get hip
In the still of the night
I stretch and I yawn and then I breathe real deep
And dance myself to sleep

I hoof around my beddie
Just a-tappin' my toes
Before I know what's happenin'
I'm a-ready to doze
Got some partners I can count on
Called the Boogie Woogie Sheep (What?)
I dance myself to sleep!

I gently rock-a-bye myself across the floor
I turn and then I toss and then I start to snore (Ernie!)
My trusty little bugle helps me spread the news
That I'm tappin' to "Taps"
And I'm a-rarin' to snooze!

Ernie... those sheep are tap dancing
Ernie, take the sheep out, let me sleep
When did the sheep get popular?
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
Ernie, will you please tell the sheep to put my bed down?
Stop, get away, get away, get away
Okay, thank you
Wait a minute, wait, wait... don't take me out

Well, I'm gettin' kinda drowsy
So the moment has come
To grab my rubber duckie
While the sheep take my chum
Time to shuffle off to dreamland
Got a date to keep (Where are you takin' me?)

We'll dance ourselves to sleep, oh yeah
We'll dance ourselves to sleep
Wearin' our jammies
We'll dance ourselves to sleep
And thank you, lambies
We'll dance ourselves to sleep!
