Very Good Eddie - Babes in the Wood Lyrics

1915 Broadway
Very Good Eddie the Musical - Babes in the Wood Lyrics


The song was written by Jerome Kern & Schuyler Greene.

EDDIE:
Little Lady don't be depressed and blue
After all we're both in the same canoe
Have no fear, can't you see I'm here
And till our journey is through
Little Lady, I will take care of you

Refrain:
Give me your hand, here where we stand
We're off to Slumberland
Come, dry your eyes, I'll sympathize
Like a father, mother, brother
Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight
Just like a sister should
Then put on your little hood
And we'll both be, oh, so good
Like the babes In the wood

ELSIE:
When the babes were lost in the gloomy wood
It's no wonder they were so very good
Fourteen angels were watching them
So all the story books state
Sandman's coming now,
It is getting late

Refrain:
Give me your hand, I understand
We're off to Slumberland  
With you I'll go, although we've no
Angel chorus watching o'er us

Both:
Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight
Just like a brother should
I'll put on my little hood
But we'll both be twice as good
As the babes In the wood

Babes in the Wood
The Didn't Believe Me
The Money Rings Out Like Freedom
Always Mademoiselle
Take Care of This House
One More Walk Around the Garden
Why Him?
Chin Up, Ladies
Beatnik Love Affair
Why Do the Wrong People Travel
Yes, My Heart
Can You Imagine That?

Love Makes the World Go 'Round
Sail Away
Go Slow, Johnny
This Is a Changing World
