Toddler Lullaby Songtext

von The Residents

Lie down, little one
Lie down, sleepy head
Lie down, go to sleep

Lie down, one more time.
Lie down just for me.

Ahh there, good.
I hope the that it doesn't give her any bad dreams.
Not like mine,
I keep -- I keep having these dreams.
Running dreams, climbing dreams.
And they're after me.
I -- I run and climb through a hole in the top of a closet
And hide in a pile of dirty clothes,
And if they find me I just stand there.
I don't say anything.
I wonder what it's like to be them.
I think -- I think they're the cootie wooties.

Well it doesn't really matter,
I guess -- I guess I've got everything taken care of now.
I've got -- I've got lots of pictures and lots of tapes.
So it will always be there, that sweetness.
That sweetness will -- it will always be there.
