| Soon will speed the Shut Eye train | D |
| Through the blue where bloom the stars | F |
| And the Mother Moon looks down | C |
| We'll away | G |

| Oh the sights that we shall see there | H |
| Come my little one with me there | H |
| 'T is a goodly train of cars | F |

| In the grace of Shut Eye Town | C |
| - | |
| Heavy are your eyes my sweet | O |
| Weary are your little feet | O |
| Nestle closer up to me | A |
| In your pretty cap and gown | C |
| Don't detain | D |
| The Shut Eye train | D |
| Ting a ling the bell it goeth | E |
| Toot toot the whistle bloweth | E |
| Oh the sights that we shall see | A |
| All aboard for Shut Eye Town | C |
