Wide awake! wide awake! baby's so wide awake, / What can I bring that will lull her to rest? / Poppies from Flowerland, / Raindrops from Showerland, / Silent slow shadows that creep up the west.
Laughings, and cooings, oh what roguish doings, / Why this is sleepy-time, baby, you know. / What can I bring to her? / What can I sing to her? / So that my baby to dreamland may go.
Lullaby, lullaby, sing a song dull, oh bye / Bye little baby, now shut up your eyes, / Moon shadowed now's the land, / Dreams come from drowsy land, / Droop dreamy eyelids and lie sleepy wise.
