Beddie-Bye Blues
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I'll fill 'em full of slugs
That's an offer that you can't refuse
Forget your troubles and dream
Up a bubble-brained scheme
(That's telling 'em, boss)
Shut your snappers and snooze
(Shut your snappers and snooze)
Snuff out your cigars
And thank your lucky stars
You ain't swimming in some cement shoes
Think of something that's nice
(Like what, boss?)
Like a holdup or a heist (That's nice)
And take your getaway cruise
(Take your getaway cruise)
With the beddie-bye blues
Slip into slumber
Saw a little lumber and snore
Let 'em hear you on shore
Just cut a couple kippers
Relax your weary flippers
And don't forget to zip
Your little lips with zippers
(That's beautiful, boss)
And don't go crying for your muddah
'Cause now we've only got each uddah
So sleep, little chowderheads, please
Shut your snappers and snooze
To the beddie-bye blues
The lyrics of Beddie-Bye Blues, a song from Disney's 1963 film The Sword in the Stone, are a humorous and lighthearted portrayal of a group of gangster-like characters trying to convince their cohorts to go to bed. The first verse sets the tough-guy tone, with the boss threatening to shoot anyone who doesn't comply with his request. However, the lyrics quickly turn comedic as the boss suggests "forget your troubles and dream up a bubble-brained scheme" and "shut your snappers and snooze to the beddie-bye blues." These lyrics convey the idea that even tough criminals need rest and relaxation.
The second verse continues with the tough-guy imagery, with the characters being urged to "snuff out your cigars" and "think of something that's nice like a holdup or a heist." The chorus, with its catchy refrain of "shut your snappers and snooze to the beddie-bye blues," reinforces the idea that sleep is what's needed to recharge and prepare for another day of criminal activity.
The song as a whole is a playful take on the gangster genre, turning the usual tough-guy tropes on their head by portraying the characters as needing sleep and relaxation just like everyone else. The use of whimsical language and puns throughout the lyrics adds to the light-hearted tone of the song.

Slip into slumber
Fall asleep
Saw a little lumber and snore
Sleep soundly and snore
Let 'em hear you on shore
Sleep loudly and deeply
Just cut a couple kippers
