Goodnight Little Skipper 1938

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 May 2003

It's time for bed little sailor man,
your sailing days are through,
so come my sweet,
call in the fleet,
the sand man's calling you.

Goodnight Little Skipper,
the evening stars are falling
Goodnight Little Skipper,
go to bed,
Once more you'll be sailing,
your port of dreams is calling
so set your sails
for dreamy sleepy head,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
you'll soon be on the ocean blue,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
Take your Dad and Mummy too.
We'll all sail together
in fair and stormy weather
Goodnight Little Skipper, Goodnight.

Goodnight Little Skipper,
the evening stars are falling
Goodnight Little Skipper,
go to bed,
Once more you'll be sailing,
your port of dreams is calling
so set your sails
for dreamy sleepy head,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
you'll soon be on the ocean blue,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
Take your Dad and Mummy too.
We'll all sail together
in fair and stormy weather
Goodnight Little Skipper, Goodnight.

So get aboard little sailor man,
your ship of dreams tonight,
and sail away 'till break of day,
God Bles You and sleep tight.

Goodnight Little Skipper,
the evening stars are falling
Goodnight Little Skipper,
go to bed,
Once more you'll be sailing,
your port of dreams is calling
so set your sails
for dreamy sleepy head,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
you'll soon be on the ocean blue,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
Take your Dad and Mummy too.
We'll all sail together
in fair and stormy weather
Goodnight Little Skipper, Goodnight.

Goodnight Little Skipper,
the evening stars are falling
Goodnight Little Skipper,
go to bed,
Once more you'll be sailing,
your port of dreams is calling
so set your sails
for dreamy sleepy head,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
you'll soon be on the ocean blue,
Ship Ahoy! Sailor boy,
Take your Dad and Mummy too.
We'll all sail together
in fair and stormy weather
Goodnight Little Skipper, Goodnight.
