Out the Light - Phyllis Dillon

My little boy was going to sleep

Set his present in, he countin' the sheep

During the night he just didn’t sleep

So a bedtime story I tried to tell

I’ll tell you, Goldie Locks

No Mommy

Little Red Riding Hood

No Mommy

Well, what you want then?

Mommy, out the light and tell me what you told my daddy last night

(I beg you, please)

Mommy, out the light and tell me what you told my daddy last night

«I love you so much,» that’s what mommy said

But my angel still would not say good night

Can mommy fix you something to drink?

Mommy’s growing boy is thirsty I think

I’ll give you some water?

No Mommy

I’ll squeeze you an orange

Uh-uh!

Well, what you want then?

Mommy, out the light and squeeze me like you squeeze my daddy last night

(I bg you, please)

Mommy, out the light and squeez me like you squeeze my daddy last night

So through my heart, I held him so tight

But my honey lamb did not say goodnight

So then I whispered «You be a good boy»

I’ll give you a penny or maybe a toy

I’ll give some candy

No Mommy

Maybe a penny

Uh-uh!

Well, what you want then?

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night

(I beg you, please)

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night

(I beg you, please)

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night

(I beg you, please)

Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
