(Paul Simon)
Ooh little sleepy boy do you know what time it is? The hour of your bedtime's long been past Although I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes that you're fading fast Fading 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 awake Little boy won't you lay your body down Little boy won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies Well I sang it once And I sang it twice Gonna sing it three times more Gonna stay 'til your resistance is overcome 'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep It makes your famous momma look so dumb Uh huh, yeah 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 awake Little boy won't you lay your body down Little boy won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies Ooh little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past Although I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes You're fading fast Oh fading fast Ad lib to fade
