Ooh, 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 fadin' fast, oh, fadin' 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

Going to stay 'til your resistances overcome


'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep


Well, it makes your famous daddy look so dumb

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 nothin' flashin' but the fireflies




Ooh, little sleepy boy

Do you know what time it is?

Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past


Though I know you're fightin' it

I can tell when you rub your eyes


That you're fadin' fast, ooh, fadin' fast
