Lyrics
Treelo: Good night, Oswald.

Oswald: Sometimes I have trouble ( Treelo: Oh, no. ) Falling asleep ( Treelo: Oswald, don't sing. ) But it's not so bad ( Treelo: Who are you talking to? You're talking to me? What, what, what? )

I don't worry And I don't weep ( Treelo: Who are you talking to? ) In fact I'm glad.... ( Treelo: Glad of what? ) Be-cause I get up off my pillow ( Treelo: Oh, no! Don't go fast, don't go fast! Oh, he's going fast. ) And I flip on the li-ight

I get down and get hip ( Treelo: No, no, no. Just stay in bed. ) In the still of the night ( Treelo: Just stay in bed. If you're going to sing, stay in bed. ) I stretch and I yawn and then I breathe real deep And dance myself to sleep! ( Treelo: Oh, why do you always do this? )

I hoof around my beddie Just a-tappin my toes Before I know what's happenin' ( Treelo: Oswald! ) I'm a-ready to doze Got some partners I can count on called the Boogie Woogie Sheep ( Treelo: What partners? Oh, no. Not the sheep. ) I dance myself to sleep! ( Treelo: No, not the sheep. )

I gently rock-a-bye myself across the floor I turn and then I toss and then I start to snore ( Treelo: Stop that. Don't do that. ) My trusty little bugle helps me spread the news That I'm tappin' to "Taps" And I'm a-rarin' to snooze!

Well, I'm gettin' kinda drowsy So the moment has come ( Treelo: Good. Please, Oswald! ) To grab my rubber duckie While the sheep take my chum ( Treelo: Why? Oswald! Oswald! ) Time to shuffle off to dreamland Got a date to keep (scatting)

Treelo: Oh, why me? Oh, no. Don't scat! If you're gonna sing, sing the lyrics, all right?

Oswald: We'll dance ourselves to sleep, ( Treelo: Oswald, please go to sleep! ) We'll dance ourselves to sleep, ( Treelo: Are you finishing? Oh, boy. Please finish and go to sleep. ) We'll dance ourselves to sleep.

Treelo: And two and three and stop! Stop. Stop. Goodnight.
