Allan Sherman - Go To Sleep, Paul Revere! Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • As the clock struck twelve that fateful night
  • In the town of Boston, Mass.,
  • Our forefathers were sound asleep, of course;
  • From beneath their windows came a noise
  • That almost broke the glass:
  • 'Twas a wild-eyed horseman on a breathless horse.
  • So our forefathers called out, "Who goes here?"
  • And the horseman answered, "Paul Revere."
  • So our forefathers climbed out of bed,
  • And they went to the window and said:
  • Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere;
  • Please don't make all that noise around here!
  • How can we rest, when, from down in the street
  • Comes the clomping and the stomping
  • Of your horse's big feet?
  • Go away, or I'll call the police,
  • And report you're disturbing the peace!
  • Stop horsing around in the dark of the night;
  • Tell those people at the Old North Church
  • To turn out that light!
  • Whatever you're trying to say, it'll keep;
  • Go to sleep, Paul Revere, go to sleep!
  • Are you planning to stay until dawn?
  • Won't you please get that horse off my lawn?
  • You're drunk and disorderly, feeling your oats,
  • Tell those strangers behind you
  • To take off those silly red coats!
  • Why, you're carrying on like the British were here;
  • Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere!
  • Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere!
  • Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere!
  • Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere!
  • {Continues on like this, with sounds of gunfire,
  • shouting, and explosions very loud in the background}
  • The King will hear of this!
