I know why you're crying I know why you're blue Someone took your kiddy car away Time to go to sleep now Little man, you've had a busy day Someone took your marbles Tell you what we'll do Dad'll buy some new ones, right away Time to go to sleep, now Little man, you've had a busy day Put away your soldiers, the battle has been won Enemy is out of sight Come along now soldier, and put away your gun War is over for tonight Time to stop your scheming, time your day was through Listen to the jukebox softly play It's time to go to sleep now Little man, you've had a busy day Time to stop your scheming, time this day was through Listen to the jukebox softly play It's time to go to sleep now Little man, you've had a busy day It's time to go to sleep now Little man, you've had a busy day
