Lyrics
"It's getting late outside
It is becoming late outdoors
It's almost your bedtime
It's nearly time for you to go to bed
Time to settle down
Time to calm down and prepare for sleep
And sing a lullaby
Engage in singing a lullaby
Goodnight, goodnight
Expressing goodnight wishes
You can play with your toys in your dreams tonight
Encouraging the listener to play with toys in their dreams
Goodnight, goodnight
Reiterating goodnight wishes
Don't be sad before you know it, the sun will rise
Advising not to be sad as the sun will rise soon
I'll tuck you in
Promising to tuck the listener into bed
Won't let the bedbugs bite
Ensuring protection from bedbugs
So goodnight, goodnight
Repeating goodnight wishes
You know I love you and I'll always be by your side
Expressing love and a commitment to be there for the listener
Goodnight
Reiterating the sentiment of wishing a good night
Let's wind down right
Suggesting winding down and relaxing
Lay by my side
Inviting the listener to lie by the speaker's side
We'll have more fun times
Anticipating more enjoyable times in the future
After you rise and shine
Referring to the fun times after waking up
Okay, now
Initiating a group activity of singing quietly
Let's all try to sing
Encouraging everyone to participate in singing
As quietly as we can all together
Setting the expectation to sing quietly together
Ready? Set, go
Commencing the quiet singing activity
Goodnight
Repeating the farewell message of goodnight
Goodnight
-Goodnight
-Goodnight"
