Lyrics

Wouldn't it be a change for you and me to stay at home once ina while? We'd babaret until the break of day I'll bet we've danced many a mile I'll like to see a movie once more They don't keep people staying 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 getting' lat 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'd 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 getting' lat 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.
