Lyrics Let's Put Out the Lights and Go To Sleep - Lena Horne

Didn′t we have a lovely eve'ning
Our party was a great success
How did Mrs Smith look stunning
Did you notice Mrs Jones′ 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, ev'ry day,
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?
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 ev′ry day,
You never were so sweet before.'
Phew ... 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
And go to sleep.
