dance_myself_to_sleep
Ariadani sometimes i have trouble
falling asleep, but it's not so bad...
(ernie, im trying to sleep...)
i don't worry, and i don't weep,
(awww...)
in fact, i'm glad...

be-cause i get up off my pillow and i flip on the light,
(ernie!)
i get down and get hip in the still of the night,
(turn the light off ernie.)
i stretch and i yawn, and then i breathe real deep,
(awww)
and dance myself to sleep
(oh, dont dance, please dont dance...)
i look around my beddie just a tap-in' my toes,
(youre dancing)
before i know whats happ-nin' im a-ready to doze,
(oh)
got some partners i can count on called the boogie-woogie sheep,
(the what?)
i dance myself to sleep.

i gently rock-a-bye myself across the floor,
(what are the sheep doing?)
i turn and then i toss and then i start to snore
(ernie!)
my trusty little bugle helps me spread the news,
(oh, not the bugle!)
that im tapping two taps and im a rare-in to snooze
(oh, you're playing the bugle...)

(what are these sheep doing?)

(ernie, these sheep...theyre tap-dancing!)

(ernie, please take the sheep out and let me sleep! oh-h...)

(where..where did the sheep get tap shoes?)

(get way, get away, get away, get away, get away.)

(ernie, will you please tell the sheep to put my bed down?)

(stop! get away, get away,
get away, get away, ok, thank you...)

(wait a minute, wait, wait, don't pick me up!)

well, im gettin kindof drowsy, so the moment has come
(turn around please!)
to grab my rubber ducky while the sheep take my chum
(take your chum!?)
time to shuffle off to dream-land got a date to keep
(where are you taking me?)
we'll dance ourselves to sleep, oh yeah,
(wait, whats going on)
we'll dance ourselves to sleep, wearin' our jammies,
(what are they doing?!)
we'll dance ourselves to sleep (get away!) and thank you lambies,
(theyre taking me outside!)
we'll dance ourselves to sleep!
(ernie...!!!)
