Go to sleep now, Francies,
You've done all you can with the day.
Safe and sound now,
Safe and sound now; that's a promise,
You'll be welcome in the milky way.
Tumble down, tired and true,
Spirit to restore; a balance is due.
Go to sleep now, Francies,
Close your eyes.
Hang your thoughts up, shut the index,
It's time to impose a cur-few.
And you'll get up fresh and ready,
With a hundred and one things to do.
Drowsy now; here comes a space,
Call a halt to the steeple chase.
Go to sleep, Francies,
Close your eyes.
If your life or some old lover,
Cause con-cern,
Or puzzle, or per-turb.
The more you discover;
The more you learn.
Go to sleep now...
Please do not dis-turb.
Tumble down, tired and true,
Spirit to restore; a balance is due.
Go to sleep now, Francies,
Close your eyes.
Go to sleep now, Francies,
Close your eyes.
Go to sleep now,
Francies.
Go to sleep.
(Repeat E to Fade)
