Dance Myself To Sleep

Sesame Street · Dreamytime Songs [1996]

Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep,

But it's not so bad

I don't worry

And I don't weep

In fact,

I'm glad!



Because I

Get up off my pillow

And I flip on the light

I get down and get hip

In the still of the night

I stretch and I yawn

And then I breathe real deep;

And dance myself to sleep.



I hoof around my beddy,

Just 'a tappin' my toes

Before I know what's happened

I'm a ready to go

Got some partners I can count on

Called the Boogie-Woogie Sheep

I dance myself to sleep



I gently rock-a-by myself across the floor

I turn and then I toss

Then I start to snore

My trusty little bugle

Helps me spread the news

That I'm a'tappin' to taps

And a'rarin' to snooze.



*BUGLE MUSIC* (No, no, no, no, not the bugle!)



Well I'm gettin' kind of drowsy

So the moment has come

To grab my rubber ducky

While the sheep take my chum.



Time to shuffle off to dreamland,

Got a date to keep (Ernieeeeeeeeeeeee!)

We'll dance ourselves to sleep



Oh yeah



We'll dance ourselves to sleep



We're in our jammies



We'll dance ourselves to sleep



And thank you lambies



We'll dance ourselves to sleep
