Can Someone Help with a Lullaby with the Line “I’m Not Tired. I’m Not Sleepy.”?

Brenda wrote to me:

Maybe you can help me? I’m looking for a lullaby that has the following refrain:

I’m not tired.
I’m not sleepy.
My eyes are open wide.
I’m not tired.

It was on a cd that I used to play for my oldest son (who is now 19) and I would love to have it now for my 2nd son (who is now 7 months).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Brenda

If anyone knows the lyrics to the song, or if you’re familiar with the cd, please let us know about it in the comments below.

Thanks in advance!

    To the best of my memory, these are the lyrics. I can’t remember who sang the song, and I’ve tried searching Google with every keyword I can think of.

    I’m not tired.
    I’m not sleepy.
    My eyes are open wide. I’m not tired.

    I’m really quite awake, I’m serious, there’s no mistake. My eyes aren’t getting heavy, I’m not tired.

    (chorus)I’m not tired, I’m not even yawning. My eyes aren’t getting heavy, I’m not tired

    I’m not tired.
    I’m not sleepy.
    My eyes are open wide. I’m not tired.
