David Gibb - It Was the Middle of the Night Lyrics

I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
Didn't know what to do,
So I got up and got out of my bed,
Went down to the city zoo,
But all the animals had their pyjamas on,
And they were just about to go to bed,
But they were awfully kind and said they wouldn't mind,
Helping me rest my head oh no no
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
The tiger a read a story to me,
It was all about a girl named Red Riding Hood,
Who went visiting her grandma for tea,
But when I closed my eyes, all that I could see,
Was a wolf in a bonnet and dress,
And those sharp sharp teeth, kept me from sleep,
When all I needed was to get some rest oh no no
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
The time was almost quarter to one,
I was starting worry that no matter what I tried,
A sleepy feeling just wouldn't come,
But then a panda bear who was standing there,
Said what you need is a nice soft bed,
If you lie on my tum a sleeping feeling will come,
That's how you rest your head
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
And I was almost close to tears,
When a monkey at the back put her hand in the air,
She said I think I've got a great idea
We could sing a lullaby, that always helps me sleep,
She said everybody gather round and sing with me
She sang, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep you little baby

I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
Didn't know what to do,
So I got up and got out of my bed,
Went down to the city zoo,
But all the animals had their pyjamas on,
And they were just about to go to bed,
But they were awfully kind and said they wouldn't mind,
Helping me rest my head oh no no
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
The tiger a read a story to me,
It was all about a girl named Red Riding Hood,
Who went visiting her grandma for tea,
But when I closed my eyes, all that I could see,
Was a wolf in a bonnet and dress,
And those sharp sharp teeth, kept me from sleep,
When all I needed was to get some rest oh no no
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
The time was almost quarter to one,
I was starting worry that no matter what I tried,
A sleepy feeling just wouldn't come,
But then a panda bear who was standing there,
Said what you need is a nice soft bed,
If you lie on my tum a sleeping feeling will come,
That's how you rest your head
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
I couldn't sleep it was the middle of the night,
And I was almost close to tears,
When a monkey at the back put her hand in the air,
She said I think I've got a great idea
We could sing a lullaby, that always helps me sleep,
She said everybody gather round and sing with me
She sang, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep you little baby
