Lyrics:

[English]

Say your prayers, little one

Don't forget, my son

To include everyone

I tuck you in, warm within

Keep you free from sin

'Til the sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never-never land

...

Something's wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts tonight

And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars

Dreams of dragon's fire

And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never-never land, yeah

...

Now I lay me down to sleep (now I lay me down to sleep)

Pray the Lord, my soul to keep (pray the Lord, my soul to keep)

If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake)

Pray the Lord, my soul to take (pray the Lord, my soul to take)

Hush, little baby, don't say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It's just the beasts under your bed

In your closet, in your head

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never-never land, yeah

...

Boo!

Yeah-yeah

...

Yo, whoa

We're off to never-never land

Take my hand

...

We're off to never-never land

Take my hand

We're off to never-never land

...

We're off to never-never land

...

We're off to never-never land

...
