   Oo, little sleepy boy

Do you know what time it is?

Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past 

   |Am6                  E/G# 
And though I know you're fighting it 

     |F#m           B        E 
I can tell when you rub your eyes

You're fading fast, oh fading fast

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet 

                     | 
Roll across the skies 

   |                                |Amaj9 
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake

Well I sang it once and I sang it twice 

            |     
I'm going to sing it three times more

Is overcome

'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep
