Sleepy Time Gale - Josephine Baker

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
