[Verse 1]
Lucy, it's time for bed now and you need your rest
So lie down in your coffin dear and sleep tight
I'll wake you when daddy's here, alright?
No, no don't, don't, no don't, don't cry, don't, don't cry little girl
Little girl from head to toe, deep into the ground you go
Down, down

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, little baby
Sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight, little baby
Nowhere to run around

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the worms, oh, the worms
(Ahhhhh)
Is that your daddy, your daddy?

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, little baby
Sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight, little baby
Nowhere to run around

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the worms, oh, the worms
(Ahhhhh)
Is that your daddy, your daddy?
(Daddy)
[Verse 2]
And as I'm waiting by the cemetery gates for her father to show
S-Something's pounding at my head
It's, it's like I-I, I can still hear her, I-I, screaming

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Bridge]
Oh Lucy, I'm doing all this for you
Oh Lucy, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to but you've got to

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, little baby
Sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight, little baby
Nowhere to run around

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the worms, oh, the worms
(Ahhhhh)
Is that your daddy, your daddy?

[Verse 3]
So you came at last? Let me see your heart
Let me see your face, you son of a bitch
[Guitar Solo: Herb Simonsen]

[Verse 4]
I see a baby crying, I see a little tear
Oh yeah, I know you're trying
But you can't stop the fear
(Daddy)

[Outro]
If you ever want to see your little girl again, you better do as I say
Dear Mr. Mayor, welcome to my humble tomb
Come inside, you know you have to
Hahahahah
