Babes in the Wood (Kern & Greene)



[Verse]
 * (He) Little Lady don't be depressed and blue,
 * After all we're both in the same canoe.
 * Have no fear; can't you see I'm here?
 * And till our journey is through,
 * Little Lady I will take care of you.

[Refrain]
 * Give me your hand, here where we stand,
 * We're off to Slumberland,
 * Come, dry your eyes; I'll sympathize
 * Like a father, mother brother.


 * Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight,
 * Just like a sister should,
 * Then put on your little hood,
 * And we'll both be, Oh, so good!
 * Like the babes in the wood.

[Verse]
 * (She) When the babes were lost in the gloomy wood,
 * It's no wonder they were so very good.
 * Fourteen angels were watching them,
 * So all the story books state,
 * Sandman's coming now, it is getting late.

[Refrain]
 * Give me your hand, I understand,
 * We're off to Slumberland,
 * With you, I'll go although we've no
 * Angel chorus watching o'er us.


 * Moonlight is bright, kiss me goodnight,
 * Just like a brother should,
 * I'll put on my little hood,
 * But we'll both be twice as good!
 * As the babes in the wood.
