Bed Time

Lyrics: Bob Weir?
Music: Bob Weir?

Played by Bobby and the Midnites in 1983-84. Thanks to Wil Gehne for the lyrics (from 8 June 1983).

Aphrodite in a naughty nightie
Holy goddess, in a skimpy bodice
Oooh, Where'd you get that nasty negligee?
Camisole, out of control
[unclear] hottest, ain't much on modest
Just might lead this little boy astray

I'm in flame, I'm insane
I'm in love or something near it
You're here for trouble, I'll have a double
Lie down screamin', can't you hear it

Bed time
Come on girl
Bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
Beddie-beddie-bye
Bed time

Bed time
Come on beddie-bye
Bed time
Baby, beddie-bye
Bed time

That halter top
Just doesn't stop
[unclear] teddy's got me ready
Hey, I'll be right down
To [unclear]
Your dressing gown, just left town
Are those pajamas? O lordy mama
Better come and help me up the stairs

I'm in flame, I'm insane
I'm in love or something near it
You're here for trouble, I'll have a double
Give up screamin', can't you hear it?

Bed time, bed time [etc]
The version Bob Weir sang on 1 August 1984 was rather different (as best I can make out the lyrics):
Aphrodite in a naughty nightie
Venus in a nasty negligee
[Spooky] goddess in a skimpy bodice
[Just my latest little gonna stay]
Your kind of soul can't hold it off
Don't begin to cover what you've got

In dead of night, [?] there
Gets my jungle fever burning hot, hot

I'm in flame, I'm insane
I'm in love or something near it
You're here for trouble, I want a double
[Lie down screamin', can't you hear it]

Honey it's bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My, my bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My my it's bed time
Beddie-beddie-bye
Bed time

That halter top, just don't know where to stop
So small it's barely there at all
That [?] is nice, like sugar and spice
But you never could [resist] its silence [?]
Things you wear, dangerous I swear
Got to be [in love] but hell you care
Dressing gown, just left town
Hear me coming, help me understand

I'm insane, I'm in flames
I'm in love or something near it
They give you trouble, I want a double
[I got a brand new [?], can't you hear it]

Honey it's bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My, my bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My my it's bed time
Beddie-beddie-bye
Bed time

I'm insane, I'm in flames
I'm in love or something close
I'm impressed, I need rest
[?], you know it goes

Honey it's bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My, my bed time
Beddie-bye
Bed time
My my it's bed time
Beddie-beddie-bye
Bed time

[etc]
