Lyrics

Wuh, 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 gonna sing it three times more Gonna stay 'til your resistance's overcome 'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep Well, it makes your famous daddy look so dumb He 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 Wuh, 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
