Lyr Req: Sleepy Time Gal (Dean Martin, et al.)

Subject: Sleepy Time Gal
From: Eva

All I can remember is: Sleepy Time Gal you're turning night into day Sleepy Time Gal you've danced the evening away.

Then, at the end:

You'll learn to cook and to sew, Somehow you'll love it I know, When you're a stay at home, play at home, eight o'clock Sleepy Time Gal.

Please fill in the blanks and make any needed corrections. Thanks

Here you go, Eva. I found it at one of my favorite sites, Don Ferguson's Barbershop site, MIDIs there, too. Worth a visit at:

Sleepy Time Gal
Words by Joseph Reed Alden and Raymond Egan
Music by Ange Lorenzo and Richard A. Whiting
1924

Wouldn't it be a change for you and me to stay at home once in a while?
We cabaret until the break of day, I'll bet we've danced many a mile.
I'd like to see a movie once more,
They don't keep people stayin up until four.
Wouldn't it be a pleasant novelty to tumble in early once more?

    CHORUS
    Sleepy time gal, you're turning night into day,
    Sleepy time gal, you've danced the ev'ning away,
    Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
    Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
    It's gettin' late and dear your pillow's waitin';

    Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is thru,
    Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you,
    You'll learn to cook and to sew,
    What's more you'll love it, I know,
    When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
    Eight o'clock sleepy time gal.

Wouldn't it be a pleasant sight to see a kitchenette only for you?
Wouldn't it be a pleasant sight to see, a table set only for two?
I'll get a big Victorola and then,
We'll start in dancing ev'ry new dance again,
Then it will be a pleasant novelty to tumble in just about ten.

    CHORUS
