Baloo baleerie, baloo baleerie

Go away, little fairies,
Go away, little fairies,
Go away, little fairies,
From our home now. Refrain

Down come the pretty angels,
Down come the pretty angels,
Down come the pretty angels,
To our home now. Refrain

Sleep soft, my baby
Sleep soft, my baby
Sleep soft, my baby
In our home now. Refrain
