St. Judy's Comet — Paul Simon

Words & music by Paul Simon

Oo, little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past And though I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes You're fading fast, oh fading fast

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake I long to see St. Judy's Comet Sparkle in your eyes when you awake Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy Won't you lay your body down Little boy Won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies

Well I sang it once and I sang it twice I'm going to sing it three times more I'm going to stay 'til your resistance Is overcome 'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep Well it makes your famous daddy look so dumb look so dumb

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake I long to see St. Judy's Comet Sparkle in your eyes when you awake Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy, little boy Won't you lay your body down Little boy, little boy Won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies

Oo, little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past And though I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes You're fading fast, oh fading fast
