"Goodnight Sweetheart"

Will you come and tuck me in?     It's getting late and it's time to go to sleep. All I need is someone to come over and tuck me in. "Goodnight Sweetheart" is very often played by DJ's as the "last dance" or "goodnight" song. It is a "Doo Wop" song that was recorded by the Spaniels in 1955. It was never on the charts in "Billboard" magazine, and no one ELSE ever had a hit record with it, either. But, it is best remembered as the theme song from the TV show "Sha Na Na". Can't you just picture "Bowser" singing the bass line?
 
Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Oh, goodnight Sweetheart, goodnight.

Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
I hate to leave you, I really must say
Oh, goodnight Sweetheart, goodnight.

Well, it's three o'clock in the morning,
Baby, I just can't get right.
Well, I hate to leave you Baby, I don't mean maybe...
Because I love you so...

Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
I hate to leave you, I really must say
Oh, goodnight Sweetheart, goodnight.

Mother, oh, and your father
Don't like it if I stay here too long.
One kiss and Darling, and I'll be going;
You know I hate to go.

Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
Goodnight Sweetheart, well it's time to go...
I hate to leave you, I really must say
Oh, goodnight Sweetheart, goodnight.
