Lena Horne — Let’s Put Out the Lights And Go to Sleep

Didn't we have a lovely evening 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
