[Verse 1]
Could you sleep at a time like this?
Hearin' Oldsmobiles travelin' from town to town
I hear the older kids run past the trees in the mist
I hear them laugh in the breeze as the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
You think I should be fadin' now
(Ah)
That's because I'm not yet three
(Ah)
But, my strength still ain't abatin' now
I'm stronger than you, you're simply bigger than me

[Verse 3]
Well, yonder the sun has turned the town bright yellow
(Ah)
I love twilight more than you do, hello
(Ah)
You don't love twilight as much as me
Why don't you take the nap and let the baby be?

[Verse 4]
You think I should be tirеd now
(Ah)
But, my body is all inspired now
(Ah)
And, yes, it's true that I'm not yеt three
But I'm stronger than you, you're simply bigger than me
[Verse 5]
Look, I sat up in my crib and you didn't like that
So, now, I have to lie down flat on my back
I can't get outta this thing, I can't get outta here
But if you think I'm sleepin', oh, no, that's all mistaken, that's right

[Verse 6]
You think I should be dozin' now
(Ah)
But my cheeks are still a-rosin' now
(Ah)
And, yes, it's true that I'm not yet three; doesn't matter
I'm stronger than you, you're simply bigger than me

[Verse 7]
Well, now if what you've done is growin' up, I hate to clue ya
I just plain don't like you and I'm tellin' this to ya
You know about history and geometry
But you don't know enough to just let the baby be

[Verse 8]
And you think I should be tired now
(Ah)
That's because I'm not yet three
(Ah)
My body's all inspired now
In fact, I'm stronger than you, you're simply bigger than me, okay
[Outro]
(La-la-la-la, la-lee-ah, la-lo)
Yes (La-la-la-la, la-lee-ah, la-lo)
La-la-la-la, la-lee-ah, la-lo (La-la-la-la, la-lee-ah, la-lo)
La-la-la, lee-ah-la, lo (La-la-la, lee-ah-la, lo)
Yeah (La-la, lee-ah-la, lo)
