Oriental moonbeams
thru a willow tree
sprinkle light in sil'vry rays.
Almond eyes with baby,
crooning song is she
in a quaint celestial way.

China boy go sleep
close your eyes, don't peep
sandman soon will come,
while I softly hum.
Buddha smiles on you,
Moonman loves you too;
So, while their watch they keep
China boy, go sleep!

China boy go sleep
close your eyes, don't peep
sandman soon will come,
while I softly hum.
Buddha smiles on you,
Moonman loves you too;
So, while their watch they keep
China boy, go sleep!

Ev'ry day at twilight
thru a golden fair
almond eyes will wend her way,
China boy she's holding
you can see him there,
and to him she'll softly say:

China boy go sleep
close your eyes, don't peep
sandman soon will come,
while I softly hum.
Buddha smiles on you,
Moonman loves you too;
So, while their watch they keep
China boy, go sleep!

China boy go sleep
close your eyes, don't peep
sandman soon will come,
while I softly hum.
Buddha smiles on you,
Moonman loves you too;
So, while their watch they keep
China boy, go sleep!
