Let’s Put Out the Lights (And Go to Sleep)
Didn't we have a lovely evening
Our party was a great success
How did Mrs Smith look stunning
Did you notice Mrs Jones' new dress
Now what did Mr Brown say to Uncle Benny
Well I guess it was just one of those things Brownie
Had a few too many
Sure was a hungry crowd
They didn't leave a scrap for Rover
We ought-to feel real proud
And mighty glad the darn thing's over
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it?
Simply nighty-night and so to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
'I love you more and more and more dear
You're looking younger, ev'ry day
You never were so sweet before, dear'
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
'I love you more and more and more dear
You're looking younger ev'ry day
You never were so sweet before.'
Phew ... darling
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights
And go to sleep
