Please Go to Sleep

Please -------
Go to sleep
Babies cryin
I don't even sing
Been lullaby-ing
Nothing working
I can't think
Your not sleeping
Haven't slept a wink

Counting sheep
Fairy tales and rockin
Head on my shoulder
Little eyes a' dropping
Quiet as a mouse
I tip-toe through the house
Creak on the floor
Need I say more

Boy Spoken: Mom!
PLEASE —- Go to sleep
(we want to stay up - we want to stay up)
They say there's no rest for the weary
My eyes feel so dreary,
Lullaby and goodnight now
Twinkle twinkle little star...

Im dozing off
I hear a cough
Then a cry
Oh my oh my
Will I ever sleep again
Tell me where
Tell me when

Finally I'm sleeping...
In my bed
Dreamin when I hear
Whisper in my ear
Mom... Dad... I'm scared

Can I get into your bed?
Spoken: Hm - hm not tonight! Let's go back to your bed
Please oh please
Now go to sleep!
(We want to stay up, we want to stay up)
When my child's wide awake
I'm not sleeping either
Gimme a little break
No no I can't wait daybreak
I need some Z's, Oh child
I'm begging you, I'm begging you please
Let's keep on that light, I'll get through this night

I finally fall asleep, on the floo
R there's a thump "MOM" you scream, I jump I jump
You've fallen out of bed
Right upon your head.I soothe,and I soothe, and I say

Please Oh Please
Come on child, go to sleep
(We want to stay up, we want to stay up)
I work my fingers to the bones all day long I just need a little rest
You know mom knows best... c'mon
I can't get no to sleep
I start to weep
I start to weep
And then
You fall
Fast...
Asleep...
