Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

As recorded by The Statler Brothers:
Close your eyes, close that door
You don't have to worry anymore
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Dim the lights draw the shades
Honey, you don't have to be afraid
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Everything's all right
Old mockingbird's gonna sail away, we'll just forget it
And the big bad moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, mama, have no fear
Bring your sweet self right over here
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
(Harmonica Solo)
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight

As recorded by Claude King:
Close your eyes, close that door
You don't have to worry anymore
'Cause I'm gonna be your baby tonight
Dim the lights, ha-ha, draw the shades
Honey, you don't have to be afraid
'Cause I'm gonna be your baby tonight
Everything's alright
Old mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're just gonna forget it
And the big bad moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're just gonna let it, you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, have no fear
Bring your sweet self right over here
'Cause I'm gonna be your baby tonight
Tell it to my baby now...
(Instrumental Break)
Well that old mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're just gonna forget it
And that big bad moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're just gonna let it, you won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, mama, have no fear
Bring your sweet self right over here
'Cause I'm gonna be your baby tonight
Gonna tell you again...
'Cause I'm gonna be your baby tonight
Come a little closer, honey
