Oh, Olivia, well it's time for you to go to sleep,
But I'm so oblivious, as to how to put your mind at ease.
Just a big ball of energy.
And I've tried, and I've tried, but I'll try
One more time with this lullaby.

It's after dark and the sun went to bed a long, long time ago.
But even with the rock-a-byes and lullabies,
Your open eyes don’t ever seem to close.
I swing you back and forth and try to ignore, all your energy.
But you're bouncing like a basketball.
I chase you up and down the hall
And call your name desperately.

Oh, Olivia, well it's time for you to go to sleep,
But I'm so oblivious, as to how to put your mind at ease.
Just a big ball of energy.
And I've tried, and I've tried, but I'll try
One more time with this lullaby.

I count sheep, and you hide while a seek
For a way to take control.
In the war that we wage to see who will stay awake,
The hour's bound to take it's toll.
And even though I swing you back and forth,
It's you who's lulling me.
So even though the dawn may break,
Darling you are still awake.
I guess you take the victory.

Oh, Olivia, well it's time for you to go to sleep,
But I'm so oblivious, as to how to put your mind at ease.
Just a big ball of energy.
And I've tried, and I've tried, but I'll try
One more time with this lullaby.
Lullaby.
