Perry Como
Key: Eb


( Evenin' breeze is sighin', moon is in the sky,
time for daddy's little man to hear his lullaby . . . )

-5* -6   7   -7*    8 -9*
Lit-tle man you're cry-in', 
-9 -7*  7    -9    8
I know why you're blue,
-7*   7   -5*  -7* 7* -5*  5  7* 7
Some-one took your kid-dy-car a-way,
5   -5 -5* -6   -6*  8
Bet-ter go to sleep now,
-7*  7  -5*    5   7* -6 -5 -3*-5*
Lit-tle man you've had a bus-y day . . .

-5*  -6  7   -7*  8   -9*
John-ny won your mar-bles, 
-9   -7*  7    -9    8
tell you what we'll do,
-7*  7  -5* -7* 7*   -5*   5   7* 7
Dad-’ll get you new ones right a-way,
5   -5 -5* -6  -6*   8
Bet-ter go to sleep now,
-7*  7  -5*    5   7* -6 -5 -3*-5*
Lit-tle man you've had a bus-y day . . .

8        8    8   8  -9   -9
You've been play-in' sol-dier, 
8   -7* -7* -7*  -7*  8
the bat-tle has been won,
8   7* 7*7* 7* -7* -7*  7
The en-e-my is out of sight,
-6   -6 -6   -6    7   7    -5*-5* 7    7   8
Come a-long there sol-dier, put a-way your gun,
7   -6  -6 7  7   8  -9  -7*  
The war is o-ver for to-night . . .
-5*  -6   7   -7*    8 -9*
Time to stop your schem-in', 
-9    -7*  7  -9    8
time your day was through,

-7*    7   -5* -7* 7* -5*  5   7*  7
Can't you hear the bu-gle soft-ly say?
5    -5   -5*   -6  -6*   8
Time you should be dream-in',
-7*  7  -5*    5    7*-6 -5 -3*-5*
Lit-tle man you've had a bus-y day . . .
