Lyric s


 Sleep   sleep   sleep  x 2

 Go   t o   sleep,   my   LITTLE CREEP 

 Born   to   grow   in   a big   TRASH   HEAP 

 Dream   of   kettle s,   pot s   &   pan s 

 Broke n   bottle s   &   Rusty   can s 

. .  Rusty   cans . ..

 &   lovely   night s   when   the   moon   &   star s 

 Shine   on   1 000   abandoned   car s 

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

 That ’ s   T h e   G R O U C H  ’ s   Lullaby .

 Sleep   sleep   sleep  x 2

 Go   t o   sleep,   my   LITTLE SQUIRT 

 Dream   o f   REFUSE   &   dream   of   dirt 

 Worn   out   carton s   &   oily   rag s 

 Side walk s   loaded   with   GARBAGE   bag s 

. . .  GARBAGE   B AG S . ..

 Lovely   day s   when   the   morning   shine s 

 On   half - a - page   of   the   New York   Time s 

 May   you   always   have   toy s   to   smash 

 Broke n   treasure s   &   a   lot   of   TRASH 

 &   spot s o n   your   tie   &   flies   in   your   pie 

 That ’ s   T h e   G R O U C H  ’ s   Lullaby 

 That ’ s   T h e   G R O U C H  ’ s   Lullaby 

 T h e   G R O U C H  ’ s  '' Lullaby ! ''
