The babies slept well last night
The moon was full last night
So the parents couldn't sleep
And the animals were uneasy
And the city was shivering all night
The boys in the gang all fear the moonlight
In fact they fear much more but they pretend
To be the bravest, and the coolest, the toughest
And the strongest
And then the cry themselves to sleep at night
Sleep well tired city sleep
You won't miss a thing
When you let yourself rest
Sleep well tired city sleep
You won't miss a thing
When you let yourself rest
The rats in the park all leave their holes
They don't fear the moonlight
Only people
And they are tossing and turning in their beds now
Cursing the day to come
