A little star in the sky
Is winking its little eye.
Sleep, oh, my little babe, sleep,
For the night is now deep.

Cry no more, my babe sweet,
Stir no more your little feet.
Look, the moon in pale hue
Is white with rage at you.

Sleep, oh sleep, my babe dear,
Sleep till mummy comes near.
Mummy will take you on a trip
On the morrow, in a space-ship,
To pick this little star you long for,
And pin it on your pinafore.
Sleep, oh sleep, my babe dear,
Sleep till mummy comes near.
Sleep, oh my babe, sleep!
