Chorus:
“It's time to go to bed.”
“Do I have to go to bed?”
You'd better go to bed. It's getting late.
It's time to go to bed.
“Do I have to go to bed?”
You'd better go to bed. You look tired.
1. David and his sister, Jill, have had a busy day.
They have on their pajamas. They're putting things away.
After reading stories, there really is no doubt
What their parents mean when they both call out. Chorus:
2. Brian's brushed his teeth and picked up all his clothes.
He's had thirty drinks of water. Now he's stubbed his toe.
He's been up and down the stairs at least fifty-seven times.
His parents say "That's it!" No way they'll change their minds. Chorus:
3. Beth can't find her glasses. She's lost one of her shoes.
She suddenly remembers there's homework left to do.
Her little baby brother's tucked in and sound asleep.
Now her mother says to her quietly. Chorus:
4. When my parents call a sitter, our favorite one is Tom.
He's very easy going, never bosses us around.
He lets us stay up later. A favorite game we play.
Every now and then he remembers to say. Chorus:
5. Suppertime is over. It's nearly eight o'clock.
Mom and dad are so amazed. The dishes are all washed.
Mom is getting cranky. Dad is all worn out.
They're looking very sleepy so their children sing out.
Last Chorus:
“It’s time to go to bed.”
Is it really time for bed?
“You’d better go to bed. It’s getting late.
It’s time to go to bed.”
I guess enough's been said.
The house is getting quiet.
The day went by so fast.
We finally get to sleep at last.
(May I have another drink of water?)
