Lullaby For Francies

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

Go to sleep now, Francies

You've done all you can with the day

Safe and sound now, that's a promise

You'll be welcome in the Milky Way



Tumble down, tired and true

Spirit to restore, a balance is due

Go to sleep now, Francies, close your eyes



Hang your thoughts up, shut the index

It's time to impose a curfew

And your'll get up fresh and ready

With a hundred and one things to do



Drowsy now, here comes a space

Call a halt to the steeple chase

Go to sleep, Francies, close your eyes



If your life or some old lover cause concern

Or puzzle or perturb

The more you discover, the more you learn

Go to sleep now

Please do not disturb



Tumble down, tired and true

Spirit to restore, a balance is due

Go to sleep now, Frances

Close your eyes



Go to sleep now, Francies

Close your eyes

Go to sleep now, Francies

Go to sleep

Francies

Francies
