Take-- my hand, we're off to Never---Never----land.

[sung over intro riff:]
Now, I lay me down to sleep. Pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard.
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Ex---it---, light----.
Ent--er---- night. Grain---
of sand.
