Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE MAN YOU'VE HAD A BUSY DAY
As sung by Perry Como. Interesting, the war-time influences still occur.



Little Man You've Had a Busy Day (1946 lyrics)

( Evenin' breeze is sighin', moon is in the sky,
time for daddy's little man to hear his lullaby . . . )
Little man you're cryin', I know why you're blue,
Someone took your kiddy-car away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do,
Dad will get you new ones right away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .

You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won,
The enemy is out of sight,
Come along there soldier, put away your gun,
The war is over for tonight . . .

Time you stop your schemin', time your day was through,
Can't you hear the bugle softly say?
Time you should be dreamin',
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
< instrumental bridge >
Time you should be dreaming,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
( Rest your weary little head . . . )


Yes, yes, I know it was already in the Mudcat somewhere.
