Lyrics
Refrain
Give me your hand, here where we stand
We’re off to Slumberland
Come, dry your eyes I’ll sympathize
Like a father, mother, brother
Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight
Just like a sister should
Then put on your little hood
And we’ll both be, Oh, so good!
Like the babes in the wood
Refrain
Give me your hand, I understand
We’re off to Slumberland
With you, I’ll go although we’ve no
Angel chorus watching o’er us
Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight
Just like a brother should
I’ll put on my little hood
But we’ll both be twice as good
As the babes in the wood
