Lyrics: 

High above the forest
in the night sky.
The stars are shining brightly,
time for beddy-bye.
Star flew down to Owl,
who hooted and said,
“Let’s say good night to all our friends
and put them all to bed.”

Beddy-bye, butterfly
tuck into your flower.
Dream butterfly dreams
‘till the morning hour.

Beddy-bye, baby bear
lay down in your den,
until the sun rises
and it’s morning again.

Beddy-bye, bunny rabbit
close your eyes and dream
of all the games tomorrow
we will play by the stream.

Beddy-bye, little squirrel
curl up in your nest.
You gathered acorns all day long
and now it’s time to rest.

Beddy-bye, slith’ry snake
curl up nice and tight.
We’ll meet again tomorrow
in the early morning light.

Beddy-bye, tiny turtle
rest inside your shell.
Slowly you will fall asleep.
We hope that you sleep well.

Beddy-bye, friendly frog.
Let’s not make a sound.
In the morning you will ribbit
and hop all around.

Beddy-bye, little bird.
Though the night seems long,
soon it will be morning
and we’ll wake to your song.

Now we’ve said good night
to our friends near and far.
Beddy-bye to you, Owl.
Beddy-bye to you, Star.
