Goodnight, Captain Curly-head

Performed by Dinah Shore
Recorded February 10, 1942
Written by Sam M. Lewis, Fred E. Ahlert

Goodnight, Captain Curly-head
Of the high chair brigade
Orders are to go to bed
And they must be obeyed
All night, Captain Curly-head
In the bright starry blue
Angels are on sentry duty
A-watching over you

So kneel beside me sonny
And say your little prayer
The one we save for daddy
The prayer for "over there"
Be brave, little soldier man
Let him know we're not afraid
Goodnight, Captain Curly-head
Of the high chair brigade

Goodnight, Captain Curly-head
Of the high chair brigade
