Jimmy met Mary on the Fourth of July Independence Day, you shoulda' seen her brown eyes She come up from behind and stared tugging on his coat, uh-huh Oh, when his fireworks blew she was pushing like a tug boat Nine months later they had a little sprite Ah, she was pretty as a sunset, they named her Little Goodnight Now Little Goodnight she couldn't sleep too well, uh-uh And every night half the neighborhood could hear Jim and Mary tell her They said, "go to sleep baby, don't cry Count sheep, your mother and I Can't keep it up If we don't get some sleep" Good night, Little Good night, Little Good night Little good night started staying up a lot With her big baby blues wide open like a rim shot Jim and Mary thought parenthood was 'sposed to be a joy, uh-huh Started thinking bad thoughts, started acting kinda paranoid Well they took her to the doctor, they took her to the nurse There we potions recommended, just like it was some kinda curse Jim and Mary loved Little Goodnight so much, uh-huh But without those REMs they felt like they were losing touch They said, "go to sleep baby, don't cry Count sheep, your mother and I Can't keep it up If we don't get some sleep" Good night, Little Good night, Little Good night You'll have school one of these days Children of your own to raise In casual or business dress we have high hopes for you But Little Goodnight, first you'll need some rest Now go to sleep Now there's a woman on the street wrapped up in a blanket Clutching a portable tape deck, just about to crank it She's listening to a song by Ms. Diana Ross, uh-huh Singing "Dreams can come true", Jim and Mary keep their fingers Crossed Go to sleep baby, don't cry Count sheep, your mother and I Can't keep it up If we don't get some sleep Good night, Little Good night, Little Good night, Little Good night, Little Good night
