A CLASSIC FROM BOB HOPE WITH SHIRLEY ROSS

TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE  b/w THANKS FOR THE MEMORY

FROM THE FILM  "THANKS FOR THE MEMORY " ON 78

"Two Sleepy People" is a song written on September 10, 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Frank Loesser.
In 1939 the song was performed by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross in the film Thanks for the Memory.
It is often regarded as a companion piece to "Thanks for the Memory", written for the February 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938 by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger and also performed by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross.
As well as being recorded by Carmichael himself, the song has been performed and recorded by a number of artists including Al Bowlly, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Art Garfunkel, Fats Waller, Sammy Davis Jr., Carmen McRae, Silje Nergaard, and Carly Simon.

The song tells of a couple who are tired out, but love each other so much that they cannot bring themselves to leave each other and go to bed.

 

Here we are, Out of cigarettes

Holding hands and yawning

Look how late it gets

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are

In the cozy chair

Pickin' on a wishbone

From the Frigidaire

Two sleepy people with nothing to say

And too much in love to break away

Do you remember

The nights we used to linger in the hall?

Your father didn't like me at all

Do you remember

The reason why we married in the fall?

To rent this little nest

And get a bit of rest

Well, here we are

Just about the same

Foggy little fella

Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Well, here we are

Just about the same

Foggy little fella

Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

do you remember the nights we used to cuddle in the car

watching every last falling star

do you remember the doctor said my health was under par

and you my little shnooks

were ruining your looks.......so

here we are...keeping up the pace

letting each tomorrow slap us in the face

2 sleepy people by dawn's early light

much too much in love to say goodnight.
