Lyrics

I've had my lunch and my story, too.
I played with Snoopy
I'm feelin' droopy
I'm slowly sinkin' in Mama's lap.
I guess it's time to take my nap.

Oh Mama, please, take off my bib.
Lay me down now right in my crib.
I've got my very own thumb for suckin'
All I need is your gentle tuck-in
My diaper is fresh; my tummy is full
I feel the sandman startin' to pull
So sing me a song, a lullabye sweet
It?s time for me to go to sleep.

We've been out in the car all day.
The engine's hummin'
I feel it comin'
I'm drippin' drool on my car seat strap
I sure would like to take a nap.

Oh Daddy, please, don't stop the car
Keep on drivin'; let's go real far.
I'm sittin' quiet and I'm not screamin'
I just got in some really fine dreamin'
Don't run out of gas; just keep up the pace
I've got that angel look on my face.
So keep movin' on an hour or two
And I'll keep bein' good for you.

Bathtime's done and the sun is down
I was wired
but now I'm tired
A mommy cuddle would suit me fine
I know it must be my bedtime.

Oh Mommy, Daddy, time for my kiss
Something I just don't wanna miss
I fold my hands and we start our prayin'
It sure has been a wonderful day and
The light's goin' out; I'm fading fast
I want this cozy feeling to last
So tiptoe on out and don't make a peep.
It?s time for me to go to sleep.
It?s time for me to goooooooo?.to sleep.

you always bring it

Funny lyrics. I wish I still had a nap time lol

another song to stop and think about

I really like the solo guitar sound and the beautiful vocals, the lyrics are great and I think that any parent who listens to this song were be able to relate. It brings back many memories and reminds me mostly of my grandchildren and just how cute they are when they are eating with their bibs on and getting most of it on their face, very good and unique song!

The voice is cute, with the high pitch, sounding like a young child.
I like how the song slows down to emphasize getting tired, possibly?
I like the structure of the story with the musical progression. It doesn't repeat at all, and keeps me interested in the song. It really is quite captivating and unique. I really applaud you for this song.
Just curious if this is intended for a kids audience. No matter, it really could work if that is the intention. Bravo!

A fun tune... road trips with a baby can keep the little person in a slumber and may even be the reason for a short jaunt! This song encapsulates that moment just right. It's calming tone would be a great addition to a kids show, and would be right at home played during the evening when the time to rest is near.

Very unique piece, which I'd call "Nappy Time Song." Three different scenarios are played out (kid sleeping on mother's lap, kid sleeping in car, kid going to bed in the evening). The feel of the song is just as droopy as the kid is ;) Well done. Has market potential for car seat ads (the middle stanza), kid safety, kid bed advertising, childcare facilities, etc. Could be played in daycare centers at nappy time!

Cute song. I like that it's sung from the child's perspective!

Now this is a wonderful spin on lullabies. It is fresh, and different. Very nicely done.

A very sweet and amusing song for new parents much more than for the child. Would make a lovely baby shower/new baby gift. The daily grind of naps baby's naps at home and in the car, culminating in bed time is witty and informative for new parents. The 'baby' voice with its very high pitch in places is fun. I am not sure children like such a high pitched voice, I remember not liking sopranos' voices when I was young, but I think parents and grandparents will love the song.
