Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed

As the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes


Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep

You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream


Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed

And while the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
