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
