Hush now, little Lou Magoo,
Daylight’s slippin’ away,
Stars are peepin’ over the blue,
To watch you dream and play.
Your mama’s hummin’ soft and low,
The crickets sing along,
The world turns slow where moonbeams glow,
And night begins its song.
(Chorus)
Sleep tight, Lou Magoo,
With your eyes so bright and true,
The angels keep a watch on you,
Dream sweet, my Lou Magoo.
(Verse 2)
You smiled at the sun all day,
And chased the clouds for fun,
Now rest your head, my golden boy,
Your dreams have just begun.
There’s a fiddle tune on the evening breeze,
A soft and lazy tune,
It dances down through the willow trees,
And hums beneath the moon.
(Chorus)
Sleep tight, Lou Magoo,
With your eyes so bright and true,
The angels keep a watch on you,
Dream sweet, my Lou Magoo.
(Bridge)
Dream of fields of clover green,
And skies of baby blue,
Dream of laughter, warm and clean,
The world’s in love with you.
(Final Chorus)
Sleep tight, Lou Magoo,
Morning’s waitin’ just for you,
So close them eyes till the dawn shines through,
Dream sweet, my Lou Magoo.
