Lyrics by Joseph Reed Alden and Raymond Egan Music by Ange Lorenzo and Richard A.Whiting (1924) Wouldn't it be a change for you and me To stay at home once in a while ? We cabaret until the break of day I'll bet we've danced many a mile. I'd like to see a movie once more, They don't keep people stay'in up until four Wouldn't it be a pleasant novelty To tumble in early once more? Sleepy time gal, You're turning night into day, Sleepy time gal You've danced the ev'ning away, Before each silvery star fades out of sight, Please give me one little kiss, Then let us whisper "goodnight" (It's gettin' late, and dear your pillow's waitin') Sleepy time gal, When all your dancin' is through, Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you, You'll learn to cook and to sew, What's more, you'll love it, i know, When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home, Eight-o'-clock sleepy time gal. Wouldn't it be a pleasant sight to see a kitchenette Only for you? Wouldn't it be a pleasant sight to see, a table set Only for two? I'll get a big victrola and then, We'll start in dancing ev'ry new dance again, Then it will be a pleasant novelty To tumble in just about ten. Sleepy time gal, You're turning night into day, Sleepy time gal You've danced the ev'ning away, Before each silvery star fades out of sight, Please give me one little kiss, Then let us whisper "goodnight" (It's gettin' late, and dear your pillow's waitin') Sleepy time gal, When all your dancin' is through, Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you, You'll learn to cook and to sew, What's more, you'll love it, i know, When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home, Eight-o'-clock sleepy time gal. |
