LYRICS:

Give you hair a toss, check for lice

Darling, how you feeling, cos it's time for bed

Yeah, toss, check for lice

Nothing feeling creepy? Then it's time for bed

​

Woo, child, hanging out the bed poo

That'll keep the gnats away, or it should do

Yes, girl, have some of this too

Lettuce on your temples, that'll help you sleep through

​

Nightcap for beddy-byes

Block the moon's rays

And you know why

If you want to live to be old

Don't let the moon's rays make you cold

​

I'll wrap you in cloth, check your limbs

Gotta keep you straight, put it round your head

Sleep lots, rests good for you

But if you get too much you'll be ill in bed

​

Yes it's time for bed

Darling how you feeling?

Yes, it's time for bed

​

Woo, gran, need to kick of your boots

Now just take a deep breath and let's focus on you

Got these red drapes, here's what we Tudors do,

Girl, cos you've had a fever, gonna draw around you.

​

Grandad, just close your eyes

Sleep in this chair, sing lullabies

Might feel strange but if you sleep upright

That'll help digest your food tonight.

​

We think sleeping propped up straight

Will stop us getting tummy ache.

​

Let's do a mane toss, check for lice

Are you getting sleepy? Cos it's time for bed.

If poss, my advice,

Don't sleep on your belly, that's for snakes instead.

Or on your back, just don't go there

Makes phlegm go to your brain and you'll get nightmares!

​

If you can't see the sun no more

Then let me hear you start to snore

​

If you have sleep loss, that's not nice

You know what I'm saying - and it's time for bed

Yeah, boss, check for lice

Tell me, how you feeling?

Like it's time for bed

Dung pot tempts the lice

So we don't get bitten but it makes me wretch.

​

Yes, boss, check for lice

Can we go to sleep now?

Yes, it's time for bed.
