Lyrics
Big Bird's Yellow Book: Good night, Grover's Orange Book.

Grover's Orange Book: Sometimes I have trouble ( Big Bird Feather Yellow: Oh, no. ) Falling asleep ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Grover's Orange Book, don't sing. ) But it's not so bad ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Who are you talking to? You're talking to me? What, what, what? )

I don't worry And I don't weep ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Who are you talking to? ) In fact I'm glad.... ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Glad of what? ) Be-cause I get up off my pillow ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: 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 ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: No, no, no. Just stay in bed. ) In the still of the night ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: 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! ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Oh, why do you always do this? )

I hoof around my beddie Just a-tappin my toes Before I know what's happenin' ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Grover's Orange Book! ) I'm a-ready to doze Got some partners I can count on called the Boogie Woogie Sheep ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: What partners? Oh, no. Not the sheep. ) I dance myself to sleep! ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: 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 ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: 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 ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Good. Please, Grover's Orange Book! ) To grab my rubber duckie While the sheep take my chum ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Why? Grover's Orange Book! Grover's Orange Book! ) Time to shuffle off to dreamland Got a date to keep (scatting)

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Oh, why me? Oh, no. Don't scat! If you're gonna sing, sing the lyrics, all right?

Grover's Orange Book: We'll dance ourselves to sleep, ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Grover's Orange Book, please go to sleep! ) We'll dance ourselves to sleep, ( Big Bird's Yellow Book: Are you finishing? Oh, boy. Please finish and go to sleep. ) We'll dance ourselves to sleep.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: And two and three and stop! Stop. Stop. Goodnight.
