Danny Kaye - Goodnight, Sleep Tight lyrics

Goodnight, time to call it a day Sleep tight, dream your troubles away Goodnight, in spite of any sorrow There's a brand new day on it's way tomorrow Someday, all your dreams will come true Someway, for me and you So close your eyes and dream of it my darling Till then goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock To a lullaby in ragtime Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock Play a lullaby in ragtime You can tell the sandman is on his way By the way that they play As still as the trill of a thrush In a twilight hush So you can hear The rhythm of the river on the side of the boat As you sail away to dreamland High above the moon you hear a silvery note As the sand man takes your hand So rock-a-bye my baby Don't you cry my baby Sleepy time is nigh Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby Now comes the hard part, baby. Do you suppose you can sing "Five Pennies" while Pops and I sing something else? Sure, I can sing as good as he can. And who can't? This little penny is to wish on And make your wishes come true This little penny is to dream on Dream of all you can do This little is a dancing penny See how it glitters and it glows Bright as a whistle Light as a thistle Quick, quick as a wink Up on it's twinkling toes This little penny is to laugh on To see that tears never fall This this little penny Is the last little penny Most important of all For this penny is to love on And where love is, heaven is there So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies You'll be a millionaire For this penny is to love on And where love is, heaven is there So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies You'll be a millionaire
