St. Judy's Comet

Lyrics

Wuh, little sleepy boy, do you know what time it is
 Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past
 And though I know you're fightin' it
 I can tell when you rub your eyes, you're fadin' fast
 Oh, fadin' fast
 Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
 Roll across the skies
 And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
 I long to see St. Judy's Comet
 Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
 Oh, when you wake, wake
 Little boy
 Won't you lay your body down
 
 Little boy
 Won't you close your weary eyes
 Ain't nothing flashin' but the fireflies
 ♪
 Well, I sang it once and I sang it twice
 I'm gonna sing it three times more
 Gonna stay 'til your resistance's overcome
 'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep
 Well, it makes your famous daddy look so dumb
 He look so dumb
 Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
 Roll across the skies
 And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
 I long to see St. Judy's Comet
 Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
 Oh, when you wake, wake
 Little boy, little boy
 Won't you lay your body down
 ♪
 Little boy, little boy
 Won't you close your weary eyes
 Ain't nothin' flashin' but the fireflies
 ♪
 Wuh, little sleepy boy, do you know what time it is
 Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past
 Though I know you're fightin' it
 I can tell when you rub your eyes
 That you're fadin' fast, ooh, fadin' fast
