Lullaby For Francies

Ian Dury And The Blockheads


Go to sleep now francies 
Youve done all you can with the day 
Safe and sound now, thats a promise 
Yourll 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 
Its time to impose a curfew 
And yourll 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
