Put away your toys, it’s time for you to sleep.
Can’t kiss you goodnight, so I pray God your soul to keep.
Really wish I could be with you; but I’m a soldier in this war.
The enemy surrounds us, ‘n the patients need me more.

Sing the lockdown lullaby, a lockdown lullaby.
You can’t be here. I can’t be there.
The devil dances in the air.
Hush now don’t you cry. Sing the lockdown lullaby.

When I was young lad, never had a care,
No matter what the trouble, you folks were always there.
Really wish I could be with you, but I’m fightin’ in this war.
Just doin’ like you taught me, helpin’ those who need me more.

Sing the lockdown lullaby, a lockdown lullaby.
You can’t be here. I can’t be there.
The devil dances in the air.
You can’t be here. I can’t be there.
Locked in our prisons everywhere.
Dry the proud tears from your eyes. Sing the lockdown lullaby.

They say I’m a hero, but you’re the rock on which I stand,
You’re the smile behind this mask, the skill ‘n care that’s in my hands.
Really wish I could be with you, I’m still fightin’ in this war.
I know how much you miss me, but the patients need me more.

Sing the lockdown lullaby, a lockdown lullaby.
You can’t be here. I can’t be there.
The devil dances in the air.
You can’t be here. I can’t be there.
Locked in our prisons everywhere.
This’ll pass so don’t you cry. Sing the lockdown lullaby.
‘Till tomorrow it’s goodbye. Sing the lockdown lullaby.
