Said the moon to a star nearby
Look down on that gal and guy
They're keeping me up too late tonight
I wanna turn out my light

I wish that they'd go to bed
I can hardly hold up my head
I'm hoping the spark will soon ignite
I wanna turn out my light

I think that love is grand
I'll always lend a hand
But I'm still working the swing shift
I've got to be gone when on comes the dawn

I don't think that I'm unfair
To ask them to take the air
I wish they'd wake up and say goodnight
I wanna turn out my light
