Thread Name: Lyr Req: Goodnight Everyone (from Henry Hall)
Subject: ADD: Goodnight Everyone...
Yep. I remember it well. It was played on 3zb at 12 midnight as a sign off song in the late 40's and 50's.

Goodnight everyone, you've earned your daily bread
Don't be late in the morning, goodnight and go to bed,

Goodnight to all the policemen, who serve us day and night,
And never lose their tempers but are always most polite,

Goodnight to all the firemen who serve us oh so well,
We know you go to blazes every time you ring your bell,

Goodnight to all the sailors, who sail upon the sea,
Our thoughts are always with you, wherever you may be,

Goodnight to all the people we haven't named before,
Just make a rhyme up for yourself, we don't know anymore.
