Lyrics (as I remember) to Sleepy Town Express:
(Who knows any more?)
Come on, all you kiddies, put your playthings down.
Take a trip with me to the jubilee down in Sleepy Town.
Put on all your nighties, close your eyes and rest,
'Cause we're going away for a holiday
On the Sleepy Town Express.
Oh! We're going to meet Jack, and we're going to meet Jill.
They live in a shack on Pumpkin Pie Hill.
It' an all-night trip on a pillow slip on the Sleepy Town Express.
We'll paddle and splash in the soda pop pools
On Plum Pudding Beach where there ain't no schools!
So, go to bed, don't wait, or you'll be too late
For the Sleepy Town Express.
All the little tots down in Sleepy Town
Are waiting to meet the trains,
With their licorice shoes and their chocolate hats,
And their peppermint candy canes!
All aboard! All aboard! For the Sleepy Town Express!
Can't you hear the wheels a'clickin' on those silver plated rails?
While the kitty cats meow Good-Bye and wave their pretty tails?
All the maidens on the Milky Way are shining up the moon,
Because they know the Sleepy Town Express is comin' very soon.
We will stop and pay a visit to the Woman in the Shoe,
And we'll call on Cinerella, and Old Mother Hubbard, too!
Can't you hear the wind a-tooty tootin' tootin' down the flue?
And the Sandman will be coming with his Choo-Kachoo-Kachoo!All aboard! All aboard! For the Sleepy Town Express!
We'll paddle and splash in the soda pop pools,
On plum pudding beach where there ain't no schools!
And the Sandman, dear, is the Engineer
On The Sleepy Town Expressssssssssssssss

With the help of this site I was able to track down a copy of the sheet music and here are the words. By the way you were very very close. Thanks.

The Sleepy Town Express

Words and Music by Haven Gillespie



Come on all you kiddies

Put your play things down

Take a trip with me to the jubilee

Down in Sleepy Town

Climb into your nighties close your eyes and rest

Cause we’re going away for a holiday

On the Sleepy Town Express



We’re goin to meet Jack

And we’re goin to meet Jill

They live in a shack on a Punkin Pie Hill

It’s an all night trip on a pillow slip

For the Sleepy Town Express



We’re goin to pick cakes by the lemonade stream

Sail over the lakes full of Honey and Cream

And the Sandman dear is the Engineer

On the Sleepy Town Express



All the little Tots down in SleepyTown

Are wait-in to meet the train

With their Licorice Shoes and Choc-late Hats

And Peppermint Candy Canes

We’ll paddle and splash in the Soda pop Pools

On the Plum pudding beach

Where there ain’t no school

Go to bed don’t wait or you’ll be late

For the Sleepy Town Express



All aboard all aboard for the Sleepy Town Express

Can’t you hear the wheels a click-in on the silver plated rails

While the kitty kats meow “Good-bye” and wave their pretty tails

All the maidens on the milk-y way are shin-in up the moon

Cause they know the Sleepy Town Express is com-in very soon

We will stop and pay a visit to the Woman in the Shoe

And we’ll call on Cinderella and Old Mother Hubbard too

When you hear the wind a toot-y toot-y toot-in down the flue

Then the Sandman will be com-in with his choo-ka-choo-ka-choo

All aboard all aboard for the Sleepy Town Express
