lyrics

Cheery Bye! Pleasant Dreams!
Remember us in your daily schemes.
Off we go... Don't be late!
See us to the garden gate.

How dee doo and good night!
Be sure not to let those bed bugs bite!
Off we go... Don't be late!
See us to the garden gate.

Don't mind me if I drool at your door.
I can't help it if I'm a bore
Off we go... Don't be late!
See us to the garden gate.

Oh deary me I haven't enough.
I'm getting hungry and times are rough! But..
Off we go... Don't be late!
See us to the garden gate.

When you see us go please don't cry.
Sooner or later we all must die.
Off we go... Don't be late!
See us to the garden gate.
