The Snufflelullaby Songtext
von Big Bird & Snuffleupagus

Do you suppose anyone else might have a good lullaby
They could sing to me?
Let′s go see if we can find anybody
We'll be right back, Big Bird

Hi, Mr. Snuffleupagus
Gee, I′m glad to see you
It's always nice to see you, Bird
Say, could you do me a favor?
I can't fall asleep
David and Maria tried singing me an old African lullaby
But it didn′t put me to sleep

I′d be happy to sing you a beautiful, old Snuffle lullaby
Oh, would you?
Gee, thanks, Mr. Snuffleupagus
OK, I'm ready
I′ll say goodnight now, Bird
Beause you'll be asleep when I finish the song
Goodnight, Mr. Snuffleupagus, and thanks


OK, Bird, you just get all snuggly comfy there
And I′ll sing you the Snuffle lullaby

Sleepy, sleepy baby
Rest your weary head
Curl your snuffle under you
It's time to go to bed
Easy playin′ day out, day in

Safe inside your cave now
Warm as you could wish
Dream about your favorite food
Spaghetti in a dish
Starry skies now, close your eyes now

Morning's far away still
Night is dark and deep
Wrap your tail around yourself
It's time to go to sleep

Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy sleepy
Sleepy, sleepy, sleep


Now, I′ll just tiptoe out
No need to tiptoe, Mr. Snuffleupagus
It didn′t work
You see, I don't have a snuffle to tuck under me
And my tail won′t wrap around me

Oh, dear, sorry, Bird
But that's the only lullaby I know
And it′s made me awfuly sleepy
I'd better go home to my cave and go to sleep
Goodnight, Bird
