Foxes sleep in the forest
Lions sleep in the dens
Goats sleep on the mountainside
And piggies sleep in pens
Chorus:
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Whales sleep in the ocean
Zebras sleep on land
Hippos sleep by the riverside
And camels sleep on sand
(chorus)
Coyote sleeps in the canyon
A birdie sleeps in a tree
And when it's time for me to rest
My bed's the place for me
(chorus)
Lions sleep in the dens
Goats sleep on the mountainside
And piggies sleep in pens
Chorus:
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Whales sleep in the ocean
Zebras sleep on land
Hippos sleep by the riverside
And camels sleep on sand
(chorus)
Coyote sleeps in the canyon
A birdie sleeps in a tree
And when it's time for me to rest
My bed's the place for me
(chorus)
