Halley's Comet, 1986 Song Lyrics

Go shake the sleepy headed children
No lie lie lumps in the bed
I'll light the stove and put water in the kettle
And jam and butter on the bread
Wake up you sleepy headed children wake up and out of bed
There's a visitor who's callin and he'll soon be gone again

Well I might be a kid with a sleepy old head
I don't believe it's right
I never heard of no visitor
Who comes calling in the middle of the night
Well I'm goona tell this visitor I don't think it's polite
To come around here callin' when everyone's sleeping tight

And mumma said stop your moanin' and put somethin' on your feet
This visitor is not the kind of fellow you can talk to walking down the street
And go and tell your sister to put somethin on her feet
Wrap a blanket 'round your shoulder and out the door toot sweet

Now we've got nice real neighbours both living on the left and right
But I never thought I'd see them out standing in the yard in the middle of the night
When I saw all our neighbours I got an awful fright
All out in their pyjamas starin' up into the deep dark night

There's the old man livin' in the corner and he's sayin' "look up! Look up!"
And the lady next door she's tryin' to pour hot tea in a little tin cup
