TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR
REFRAIN-
Twinkle. twinkle little star
Up in the sky so far
Will you show your little light.
For my love and me to-night.
And while we are planning too Build a cot beneath the blue.
Will you sprinkle star dust bright On the plans we make to-night.
In the chapel down the lane Someday I will change her name.
Will you peep through the window pane.
Little star so bright.
I hope you will light the way To my cot at close of day And you?ll guard it through the night With your little light so bright.
OLD PINTO
Old Pinto, I?ll soon be on my way,
For now I am a soldier of the U.S.A.
While you roam the prairie far and wide.
I'll be marching up and down in military stride.
I?ll be back one year from today,
Then I'll mount the saddle and we?ll ride away,
I?m so happy I could shout, hip-hip-hurray,
For now I am a soldier of the U.S.A.
GOOD-NIGHT, LITTLE GIRL. GOOD-NIGHT
Little curly head, it?s time to go to bed Before the sandman comes this way,
I think you?d better say your prayers,
Before you climb the dream land stairs.
REFRAIN-
Goodnight little girl, you?re very tired.
I?m afraid Mr. Sandman is near,
Cuddle close to your Mother?s heart For our dream ship?s about to start.
We will follow the moon across the blue ? Till we reach the land of Nod,
Then you can play with the stars till the break of day And on a bright sunbeam you?ll leave the land of dreams And be back in my arius again.
