Lyrics
(Evan Stephens, 1899)
Good night, good night, good night.
1. Good night, kind friends, the hour is late,
‘Tis time for us to part.
Oh may the strains that now we sing
Bring joy to every heart.
Refrain
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la,
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la la.
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la,
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la.
2. Good night, kind friends, may slumber sweet
Bring dreams of pure delight,
Until again in joy we meet,
We wish you all goodnight. Refrain
