Lyrics
Sleep sleep sleep x2

Go to sleep, my little creep

Born to grow in a big trash heap

Dream of kettles, pots & pans

Nroken bottles & rusty cans

..Rusty cans...

& lovely nights when the moon & stars

Shine on 1000 abandoned cars

Now hush, hush-a-bye, like a pig  in a sty

That's the Grouch's lullaby.

Sleep sleep sleep x2

Go to sleep, my little squirt

Dream of refuse & dream of dirt

Worn out cartons & oily rags

Sidewalks loaded with garbage  bags

... Garbage bags...

Lovely days when the morning shines

On half-a-page of the New York Times

May you always have toys to smash

Broken treasures & a lot of trash

& spots on your tie & flies in your pie

That's the Grouch's lullaby.
