SAY GOODNIGHT NOW  

I’d walk along the backroads when I was young, and tear a 

piece of the night down.

I’d whistle up at the moon sometimes just to see the man in the sky fall down.

I’d bust your arm on a twenty dollar bet. 

Now it’s easy to remember to forget.

I make you shiver and you make me sweat.

 

Say good night now...Say good night now...

Say good night now...Say good night now...

 

If you let the girl go no one will get hurt. Won’t you just believe me?

I only go mad three times a year, and only then ‘cause it pays 

my salary.

The one head that I could never touch is my son’s, I love him 

very much.

It all goes round and round and such and such.

 

Say good night now...Say good night now...

Say good night now...Say good night now...

 

To every frightened kid who cowers in the dark, you may as 

well start screaming.

Stay on the tracks or I’ll be your nightmare and you won’t even 

be dreaming.

This wouldn’t happen if you’d listen to facts.

I’ll slap the polka dots off of your back.

I’ll make it look like it’s a heart attack.

 

Say good night now...Say good night now...

Say good night now...Say good night now...

Say good night now...Say good night now...

Say good night now...Say good night now...
