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
