Hap Palmer - The Summer Slumber Party lyrics

All over the land the children were sleeping With nary a whisper or peep But there was a place Where lights were still burning And children could not fall asleep Chorus: It was the summer slumber party at Sabrina's house The kind where laughter never ends The summer slumber party at Sabrina's house Her room was filled with all her friends School was not in session So they got to stay up late Sabrina kept on saying "This is great !" We can stay up past our bedtimes; There's no homework due tonight; No problems in arithmetic or spelling lists to write Blaring in the background You could hear their favorite tune As they made their joyful plans to sleep 'til noon Eating Snickers in their slippers Sharing jokes and soda pop Getting sicker by the minute ' Cause they simply could not stop Repeat Chorus If you think that little girls Are always sweet and nice Sabrina's gang will have you thinking twice They can jump and tumble just as well as anyone With pillow fights that rival What the wildest boys call fun Carrie did a cartwheel over Betsy Burger's bed Barely missing Holly Hoover's head; Heather did a handstand rolling to an arabesque She started on the dresser And she ended on the desk Repeat Chorus Sabrina whispered "Shhh" When she heard her father knock He said, "Go to sleep now girls, It's 10 o'clock" It was quiet for a moment until Shirley tickled Jan Then Bev burped from too much soda And the giggling began Time and time again they would try to settle down Then burst out laughing for another round Tired yet still wired they went on a talking jag 'Til their eyes got puffy And their chins began to sag Repeat Chorus As crickets grew silent in the fading moonlight The girls were beginning to doze Tired and yawning, drowsy and nodding They drifted to peaceful repose Her mother then tiptoed into the room And untangled Sabrina's long braids She covered each child and switched off the lights And quietly pulled down the shades All over the land the children were rising With bright smiles they met the new day But sleepy Sabrina and friends they still slumbered Too weary and worn out to play
