Little Man You`ve Had A Busy Day lyrics

Little Man, You've Had A Busy Day

 Paul Robeson with Ray Noble & the New Mayfair Orchestra

 Written by Mabel Wayne, Al Hoffman and Maurice Sigler

 

 - as recorded June 27, 1934

 

 Evenin' breezes sighin', moon is in the sky

 Little man, it's time for bed

 Daddy's little hero is tired and wants to cry

 Now, come along and rest your weary head

 

 Little man, you're cryin', I know why you're blue

 Someone took your kiddy-car away

 You better go to sleep now

 Little man, you've had a busy day

 

 Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do

 Dad'll get you new ones right away

 Better go to sleep now

 Little man, you've had a busy day

 

 You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won

 The enemy is out of sight

 Come along there soldier, put away your gun

 The war is over for tonight

 

 Time to stop your schemin', time your day was through

 Can't you hear the bugle softly say

 Time you should be dreamin'

 Little man, you've had a busy day

 

 Little man, you're cryin', I know why you're blue

 Someone took your kiddy-car away

 You better go to sleep now

 Little man, you've had a busy day

 

 Johnny won your marbles, I know, I tell you what we'll do

 Dad'll get you new ones right away

 Better go to sleep now

 Little man, you've had a busy day

 

 You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won

 The enemy is out of sight

 Come along there soldier, put away your gun

 The war is over for tonight

 

 Time to stop your schemin', time your day was through

 Can't you hear the bugle softly say

 Time you should be dreamin'

 Little man, you've had a busy day
