Close your eyes, close the door,
You don't have to worry any more.
I'll be your baby tonight.
.
Shut the light, shut the shade,
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll be your baby tonight.
.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
We're gonna forget it.
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
But we're gonna let it,
You won't regret it.
.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
I'll be your baby tonight.
