Eva' sleep it out a' doors, you,
Just on the groun'? It's you' motha'.
Could look up at sky, it's kinda' blue,
Little sta's look at each otha,
And wink 'em little bit,
Ain't it?
Wonda' what made it, all them sta'?
'Spec' it's little bits of sun broke it off;
'Cause he's run fas', and he's go fa',
And 'spec' sometimes the road's might rough.
Might be that kin',
Aint it?

Sometimes little breeze, he's blow cool,
Feel good, make it f-i-n-e sleep it.
I like that kin', I don't fool'
Fella' got sof' bed could keep it.
Don't want that kin', me,
Aint it?

Them fella's bug what a singin'
Up in a tree, go siz-z-z,
Soun's like a nice, that ringin';
Make it good sleep; gee whizz!
I could sleep it summa' time,
Aint it?
