Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] Arlo, can ya hear me?! I'm out in Californie! I'm sittin' here in a re-cording studio with a lotta odd buzzards, funny people! We're gonna sing you a little song. See, I been hearin' about ya and I seen your picture on your latest album cover, and I just wanna say, I think you been burnin' the candle on both ends, kid, and it's about time you got a little sleep. You're only nineteen and you're startin' to look forty-eight! So we just wanna give you these little words of advice: Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Sleep, sleep, sleepy, sleep tight, sleep tight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight You've played, little Arlo, all day Your eyes are both sleepy, I see Your sun's ridin' high and your moon's ridin' too Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Sleep, sleep, sleepy, sleep tight, sleep tight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight In Totsy we cruise the Belt Parkway Drive all up and down the road Past Brighton and Coney and old Sheepshead Bay Find a puddle and drive on home Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Sleep, sleep, sleepy, sleep tight, sleep tight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight (Head down, puffy!) Back home you were tucked into bed It was then that I played serenade And now as I listen to words that you said I dig 'em and the chords that you play Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight (Head down, Joady!) Sleep, sleep, sleepy, sleep tight, sleep tight (Head down, Arlo!) Goodnight, little Arlo, goodnight
