Come, my little one, with me! There are wondrous sights to see As the evening shadows fall; In your pretty cap and gown, Don't detain The Shut-Eye train -- "Ting-a-ling! " the bell it goeth, "Toot-toot! " the whistle bloweth, And we hear the warning call: "All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!"
Over hill and over plain Soon will speed the Shut-Eye train! Through the blue where bloom the stars And the Mother Moon looks down We'll away To land of Fay -- Oh, the sights that we shall see there! Come, my little one, with me there -- 'T is a goodly train of cars -- All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!
Swifter than a wild bird's flight, Through the realms of fleecy light We shall speed and speed away! Let the Night in envy frown -- What care we How wroth she be! To the Balow-land above us, To the Balow-folk who love us, Let us hasten while we may -- All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!
Shut-Eye Town is passing fair -- Golden dreams await us there; We shall dream those dreams, my dear, Till the Mother Moon goes down -- See unfold Delights untold! And in those mysterious places We shall see beloved faces And beloved voices hear In the grace of Shut-Eye Town.
Heavy are your eyes, my sweet, Weary are your little feet -- Nestle closer up to me In your pretty cap and gown; Don't detain The Shut-Eye train! "Ting-a-ling! " the bell it goeth, "Toot-toot! " the whistle bloweth Oh, the sights that we shall see! All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!
