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.
