Let's Put out the Light and Go to Sleep - Lena Horne

Didn’t we have a lovely evening?

Our party was a great success

Oh, didn’t Mrs. Smith look stunning?

Did you notice Mrs. Jones’s new dress?

Now what did Mr. Brown say to uncle Benny?

Well, I guess it was just one of those things

Brownie had a few too many

Sure was a hungry crowd

They didn’t leave a scrap for Rover

We ought to feel real proud

And mighty glad the darn thing’s over

No more company to feed

No more papers left to read

What’s to do about it?

Let’s put out the lights and go to sleep

No more anything to drink

Leave those dishes in the sink

What’s to do about it?

Simply nighty-night and so to sleep

You’re waiting now for me to say

I love you more and more and more, dear

You’re looking younger everyday

You never were so sweet before, dear

No more money in the bank

No cute baby, we can spank

What’s to do about it?

Well, let’s put out the lights and go to sleep

You’re waiting now for me to say

I love you more and more and more, dear

You’re looking younger every day

You never were so sweet before, my darling

No more money in the bank

No cute baby, we can spank

What’s to do about it?

Let’s put out the lights, go to sleep
