nighty night, my lovely
the garbage bags we put outside
the light we’ll turn off soon
your toes are tucked in nice and clean
no one will mean you mean
the garbage men, the garbage men
what will they take away?
nighty night, my lovely
the night is hot
so is the blood
some people are like you and me
just waiting till they fall asleep
some others are out of their minds
running around like mad
their knives are sharp
their eyes are glowing
oh, darkness of the night
sleep well my child
my lovely child
tomorrow is another day
for those who are still growing
(are you still living?)
nighty night, my lovely
the moon is full
so gently shining on us
the wolves are howling
‘n cats are pairing
frogs wander over land
cockroaches crawling
having fun all over in the kitchn’
if we could fall now sound asleep
we wouldn’t give a bitchin’
nighty night, my lovely
the breadbox ‘s closed
your teeth are brushed
no chocolate ’s waiting nowhere
if you take care
and dream just sweet
there won’t be any shock late
nighty night, my lovely
the moon is bright
the night is calm
we can’t say that of lobsters
they’re chopping off
just vice and versa
their lovely chopping claws
why should we worry
since we are
not gifted with such talents
the other thing is that we are
still living with our parents
(who’s making all those laws!)
nighty night, my lovely
there are no wolves,
there are no bears
we’re living in a city
the kinky hoes,
our neighbour’s wives
are busy with the dickies
the problems here,
which we now face are:
first we have no rhyme and second:
your fucking teddybear is leaking!
you’d better sleep now pal!
nighty night, my lovely
if i can’t speak and you dont’ listen,
if you do speak and i can listen...
if you can’t speak and i can listen.
and so on. hmmm?
nighty night my lovely
nighty night my lovely
tonight there is no word for what –
for something i forgot
i guess it was a word just like :
i spell it as ‘i love you’.
nighty night my lovely
there is a creak there is a shriek
we’re not afraid we do not cry
we just hide under pillows
oh yeah: good night my lovely.
nighty night my lovely
i scream at you
if you would listen
“i love you – nighty night”
but you... oh well forget it.
nighty night my lovely
here is the night
it’s hard to handle
(there’s nothing much about it)
but here is here
and night is night
there’s nothing good about it.
another thing is
here we are and
nighty night my lovely
