When the sun goes down
And the street lights come on
And the moon begins to rise
I look at you in your Mama's arms
She's rockin' you to sleepy town
Mama's rockin' you to sleepy town
You've got one eye open
And the other half closed
You don't wanna miss a thing
A half a smile but you're mostly yawnin'
It's time to go to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
Sleepy town is just a dream away
A make-believe place where you can play
Close your eyes and let me lay you down
It's time to go to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
There's cars and trucks and airplanes
Baby dolls and playmates too
Hey you can even ride on a merry-go-round
When you go to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
Sleepy town is just a dream away
A make-believe place where you can play
Close your eyes and let me lay you down
It's time to go to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
Dogs and cats go to sleepy town
Your pet hamster put him to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
It's time to go to sleepy town
