lyrics

Bed oh bed, oh no not yet
Don’t say those words, no need to fret
There’s still so much I’d like to do so
I’ll keep talking now to you

How come you say it’s time for me
But do cows really go to sleep
Maybe I’m not cow or child
But am an owl in the wild

Who spreads her wings and glides so silently
And stays awake all night defiantly
Oh yes I think that seems like me
And not someone who needs to sleep

Bed oh bed please don’t forget
I’m a robot not invented yet
I don’t eat food and don’t need water
Can play and play and play for hours
I know you think that I just yawned
But I was working out my jaws
You have to move each muscle group
I’ll show you, let’s go shoot some hoops

And burning all that restless energy
Will surely make me very hungery
I’ll be right back so please stand by
I’ve gone to the kitchen to bake a pie

Bed oh bed oh no not yet
I’d like to place just one more bet
That I can keep you here with me
If I talk so much I barely breathe

I see I’ve almost worn you out
But you’ve got stamina there’s no doubt
I’m proud to be a kid of yours
Remind me how you got those scars

Was it the time you fell off your first bike or
When you got lost on that mountain hike
Tell that story now I’m listening
All the details nothing missing
I’m all ears so go ahead
Though I can’t quite hear what you’ve just said

It’s something about breathing
But a robot has no lungs
There’s talk about sweet dreaming
But the pie is almost done
And a cow is jumping over something
Glowing in the night
And an owl waits above for me
To join her on her flight

I feel your fingers on my back
Oh there, that’s good, I’m all relaxed
Higher please, what was I saying
Hard to think when the room is swaying

Most nights I would plot and plead
But now my body’s very heavy
Cozy here beneath the covers
Stuffies all around and over
Pillow soft beneath my head
Bed oh bed oh bed, my bed

Sara Lovell Berkeley, California

Sara Lovell's third children’s music album in less than four years, Night Life, celebrates the hours leading to bedtime and the magical worlds we enter when we finally fall sleep. As with her last two award winning albums, the new release moves beautifully between diverse musical genres – at moments riotous and full of unrestrained joy, at other moments tender, introspective and melodic. ... more
