Two Sleepy People
Kay Kyser & Kay Kyser and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are, two sleepy people

Wake up, Ginny Simms
Wake up, Harry Babbitt
Come on here, chil'en
Let's have a little harmony

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning, look how late it gets

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Yes, here we are
In a cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the frigid air

Two sleepy people with nothing to say
And too much in love to break away

Do you remember the nights we had to linger in the hall
Now my father didn't like you at all (you're telling me)
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

Well here we are, just about the same
Foggy little fella
And a drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight





Ho hum, ho hum
Too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are, in a cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone from the frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
And too much in love to break away

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Father didn't like you at all
Remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

Well, here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight
