Chorus:

Bye, bye, baby, Time to hit the road to dreamland.
You're my baby, Dig you in the land of Nod.
Hold tight baby, We'll be swinging up in dreamland.
All night baby, Where the little cherubs trod.
Look at that knocked out moon, Been a blowin' his top in the blue.
Never saw the likes of you; What an angel.
Bye, bye, baby, Time to hit the road to dreamland.
Don't cry baby, It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed.
Time to hit the road.
