LET'S PUT OUT THE LIGHTS (AND GO TO SLEEP)
Words and music by Herman Hupfeld, ©1932.
As recorded by Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees.

VERSE: Didn't we have a lovely evening? Our party was a great success.
Oh, didn't Mrs Smith look stunning? Did you notice Mrs Jones' new dress?
What did Mister Brown say to Uncle Benny?
Just one of those things; he'd had a few too many.
Sure was a hungry crowd.
They didn't leave a scrap for Rover.
We ought to feel real proud.
Mighty glad the darn thing's over.
(Please go 'way and let me sleep.)

CHORUS: No more company to feed.
No more papers left to read.
So what's to do about it? Let's put out the lights and go to bed.*
No more anything to drink.
Leave those dishes in the sink.
What's to do about it? Whisper "Nighty-night" and so to bed.*
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.
Oh, what's to do about it? Let's put out the lights and go to bed.*


* Bing Crosby sang "sleep" instead of "bed."
