Let’s Put Out the Lights And Go to Sleep by Rudy Valle Lyrics

[Intro]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Didn't we have a lovely evening?
Our party was a great success
Oh, didn't Mrs. Smith look fine
Did you notice Mrs. Jones' new dress?

[Verse 2]
What did Mr. Brown
Say to Uncle Benny?
Just one of those things
He'd had a few too many

[Verse 3]
Sure was a hungry crowd
They didn't leave a scrap for Rover
We ought to feel real proud
Mighty glad the darn thing's over
(Lead the way and let me sleep)

[Verse 4]
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
So what's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to bed

[Verse 5]
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it?
Whisper "Nighty-night" and go to bed

[Chorus]
You're waiting now for me to say
"I love you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger every day
You never were so sweet before, dear"

[Verse 6]
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
So what's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to bed
[Bridge]
(My good friend Herman Adoro Hupfeld
Who's given us "Sing Something Simple", "Yuba" and "As Time Goes By"
Played this little melody for me several months ago
I pleaded with him not to put it into a show
But to give it to us to use as our signing off signature)

[Chorus]
You're waiting now for me to say
"I loves you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger every day
You never were so sweet before, dear

[Verse 7]
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
So what's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to bed
