"Sleepy Time Gal" Harry James - arve - 09-23-2008 Another favorite of my Dad's. I'd almost forgotten it, but sometimes these memories come out of nowhere. Last night, while standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes ( I know it's shocking, but I don't own a dishwasher) - I remembered how he'd walk around singing or humming it. I grinned from ear to ear & sang it.
Here are the lyrics (ha! they aren't politically correct);
"Sleepy time gal,you're turning night into days Sleepy time gal you've danced the evening away Before each silvery star fades out of sight Please give me one little kiss then let us whisper goodnight It's getting late and dear your pillow's waitin'
Sleepy time gal when all your dancing is through Sleepy time gal I'll find a cottage for you You'll learn to cook and to sew What's more you'll love it I know When you're a stay at home ,play at home, 8 o'clock sleepy time gal
