Sleep Sweetly

Sleep sweetly Jay, sleep sweetly

Will you dream of toys

Of little cars, and dinosaurs
 
You precious little boy.

Sleep sweetly Jay, sleep sweetly

All cosy in your bed.

Will you dream of aeroplanes,

Or puppy dogs instead.

Sleep sweetly Jay, sleep sweetly

Close your weary eyes,

Mum will lay down by your side,

And sing you lullabies.
