[Verse 1]
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
Oh, fading fast

[Verse 2]
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, awake

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, I sang it once
Then I sang it twice
I'm going to sing it three times more
I'm 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
Hmm, look so dumb

[Verse 4]
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, awake

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ooh, 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
That you're fading fast
Ooh, Fading fast
