In the great green roomThere was a telephoneAnd a red balloonAnd a picture of —The cow jumping over the moon And there were three little bears sitting on chairs And two little kittensAnd a pair of mittens And a little toyhouseAnd a young mouse And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mushAnd a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush” Goodnight roomGodnight moonGoodnight cow jumping over the moonGoodnight lightAnd the red balloon Goodnight bearsGoodnight chairs Goodnight kittensAnd goodnight mittens Goodnight clocksAnd goodnight socks Goodnight little houseAnd goodnight mouse Goodnight combAnd goodnight brush Goodnight nobodyGoodnight mush And goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush” Goodnight starsGoodnight air Goodnight noises everywhere
