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 fighting it 
I can tell when you rub your eyes 
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 
 
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 
I’m going to sing it three times more 
Going to stay ‘til your resistance 
Is overcome 
‘Cause if I can’t sing my boy to sleep 
well it makes your famous daddy 
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 
 
Little boy, little boy 
Won’t you lay your body down 
Little boy, little boy 
Won’t you close your weary eyes 
Ain’t nothing flashing but the fireflies 
 
Oo 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 fighting it 
I can tell when you rub your eyes 
That you’re fading fast
