Closing Chorus to . . .
“RADIO TIMES ‘97”

Verse:   Goodnight Sweetheart, everybody sings,
You’ll hear it everywhere she goes.
We think that it is wrong,
And so we made a song,
That says goodnight to everyone we know.

Chorus:   Goodnight everyone, you’ve earned your daily bread,
Don’t be late in the morning,
Goodnight and go to bed.

Verse:   Goodnight to all the sailors who sail upon the foam,
If you’ve a wife in every port,
Where is your home sweet home?
Goodnight to all the soldiers,
We hope you’re feeling bright,
When the sergeant major comes around,
To Kiss you all goodnight.

Chorus:   Goodnight everyone, you’ve earned your daily bread,
Don’t be late in the morning,
Goodnight and go to bed.
