"Time to go to bed!"

Soon's we touch our heads to the pillow
To the pillow, to the pillow

Soon's the rooster crows, in the morning
In the morning, in the morning
Soon's the rooster crows, R-R-RR-RR

Honk honk!
Soon's the school bus stops, honk honk!
Gotta get to school

Soon's the last bell rings
After school's out ringaling, ringaling
Soon's the last bell rings
After school's out gotta get right home

Soon's we dig those taters from the garden
From the garden, from the garden
Soon's we dig those taters from the garden
Gotta wash 'em off

Soon's we all cook sweet potatoes
