Sesame Street

Dance Myself To Sleep Lyrics - Sesame Street

Sometimes I have trouble 

Falling asleep 

But it's not so bad 

 

(Not again) 

 

I don't worry 

 

(Ooooooh) 

 

And I don't weep 

 

In fact I'm glad.... 

 

Be-cause I get up off my pillow 

And I flip on the li-ight 

 

(Turn the light back off!) 

 

I get down and get hip 

In the still of the night 

I stretch and I yawn and then I breathe real deep 

 

(Ernie!) 

 

And dance myself to sleep! 

 

(Ooooh, why me?) 

 

I hoof around my beddie 

Just a-tappin my toes 

Before I know what's happenin' 

I'm a-ready to doze 

 

(Oooh...) 

 

Got some partners I can count on called the Boogie Woogie Sheep 

 

(What?!?) 

 

I dance myself to sleep! 

 

(I don't believe this!) 

 

I gently rock-a-bye myself across the floor 

 

(Ernie!) 

 

I turn and then I toss and then I start to snore 

 

(Ernie!) 

 

My trusty little bugle helps me spread the news 

That I'm tappin' to "Taps" 

And I'm a-rarin' to snooze! 

 

(Oh, not the bugle) 

 

(Smokin' bugle routine by Ernie begins, interspersed with comments by Bert) 

 

(Ernie... 

Those sheep are tap dancing! 

Oooh, why me?) 

 

(Ernie removes the bugle from his lips ... yet the bugle routine continues! Wild!) 

 

Spoken: Oh, that's nothing, Bert, wait 'till you see Rubber Duckie play the bugle! 

Watch this Rubber Duckie, he's the Boogie-Woogie Bugle Duck of Sesame Street! 

(Ernie holds his duckie up to the bugle, squeezes his tummy and the bugle routine really heats up!) 

 

(bugle solo ends) 

 

(the sheep now begin to carry Bert and his bed out of the room) 

 

(Ernie! Ernie! Your sheep!) 

 

Well, I'm gettin' kinda drowsy 

 

(Your sheep! Call them off, please! Hey!) 

 

So the moment has come 

To grab my rubber duckie 

 

(Oooh, not outside! Please!) 

 

While the sheep take my chum 

Time to shuffle off to dreamland 

 

(Not outside sheep! Errrrnie!) 

 

Got a date to keep 

 

We'll dance ourselves to sleep, oh yeah 

 

(Errrrnie!) 

 

We'll dance ourselves to sleep 

Wearin' our jammies 

We'll dance ourselves to sleep 

And thank you, lambies 

We'll dance ourselves to sleep! 

(final bugle riff) 

 

(Ernie's trademark laugh, as Bert looks in from window with long-suffering expression)
