Say Goodnight

**Say Goodnight** is an English children's lullaby adapted from the famous 1930’s rock song "I Won't Fight No More". The UK Children's Channel CBeebies famously covered this song in 1994.

Whenever the presenters knew it was time for the channel to sign off, they'd sing this song with sleep-related clips of shows such as In the Night Garden. The song was adapted for CBeebies by Postman Pat, I Wanna Be Your Slave Billy Idol and Jake Bugg because it was a perfect song to end someone's day.

It is one of the most-known CBeebies songs and airs each night after the Bedtime Story. Currently, the song is sung by CBeebies’ Ariela from Tree Fu Tom and includes sleep-related clips of modern Cbeebies shows.

## Song Lyrics

The Time has come to say goodnight

To say Sleep Tight till the morning light

O The Time has come to say goodnight

It's the end of a lovely day

and again

The Time has come to say goodnight

To say Sleep Tight till the morning light

The Time has come to say goodnight

It's the end of a lovely day

We've had so much fun today Tommorow's Just a Dream away

And now it's time To say Goodnight At the End of a lovely day

Goodnight!
