Goodnight Junior is the twenty-ninth Silly Songs with Larry and was featured in It's a Meaningful Life. It was sung by Junior Asparagus and his mother, Lisa Asparagus.
In this song, Junior is revealed to be a spoiled brat, as he proceeds to continuously and unreasonably nag his mom to get him everything he "needs" for bedtime.
Lyrics
Announcer: And now it's time for "Bedtime Songs with Junior", the part of the show when Junior gets tucked into his warm, comfy bed and is sung a bedtime song.
Mom: Good night...good night...
I'll tuck you in, good night.
I'll kiss your cheek
Soon you will sleep
Now close your eyes
Good night...
Junior: Ahh, mom...
Mom: Yes Junior?
Junior: Can I have my bear?
Mom: Your bear?
Junior: My bear, right there!
With brown and fuzzy hair!
I love him so, and you must know
I'd feel so much despair
I'd moan and groan
And cry and weep
My tears would drown
My counting sheep to have to sleep
Oh, please, Mom please
Don't make me sleep with my fuzzy bear!...
Thanks!
Mom: Good night...good night...
The lights are off, good night.
I'll fluff your sheets
Soon you will sleep
Now close your eyes
Good night...
Junior: Ahh, mom...
Mom: Hmm?
Junior: Can I have my cat?
Mom: Your cat?
Junior: My cat, yes that!
He's soft and cute and fat!
I love him so, and you must know
My heart would fall down flat
It would yearn and ache and then it'd break
My tears would soak a birthday cake
The Earth would quake
Oh, please, Mom please
I'd lie awake with my chubby cat!...
Mom: Good night...good night...
It's really late, good...
Junior: Mom, yo! Don't go!
I need my white tail doe!
I love her so and you must know
My grief would overflow...
Mom: Good night...good night...
I'll tuck you in, good night.
Junior: (simultaneously) My horse, my dog
My prehistoric frog
Mom: I'll kiss your cheek
Junior: I love them so and you must know.
Mom: Soon you will sleep
Now lose your eyes, good night.
Junior: My trout, my goose,
My monkey and my moose.
My multi-antlered moose
Mom: I'll tuck you in, good night.
Junior: My skunk
Mom: Good night...good night...
Junior: My mouse
Mom: Good night, good night
Junior: My monkey in a blouse!
Mom: I'll kiss your cheek
Junior: My four leg'd squid,
Mom: So you will sleep
Junior: My purple Gnu!
Mom: Now close your eyes
Junior: I love them all
I really do!
Mom: Goodnight, goodnight
Junior: I'd cry and weep
My world would end
Mom: I'll kiss your cheek
So you can sleep
Junior: My broken heart
Would never mend
Mom: Now close your eyes
Junior: Oh, please, mom please
Don't make me sleep
Without my furry...
Mom: Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, good...
Junior: ...Friends.
Mom: Goodnight, Junior.
Junior: Goodnight
Announcer: This has been "Bedtime Songs with Junior", tune in next time to hear Junior say...
Junior: ...Can I have a drink of water?
