Night Owls: Bedtime Song for Toddlers
A round-eyed owl sings from the tall old pine while Nyxie, Finn and friends hoo hoo along under the stars. Then everyone heads inside, the pets curl up, and we sing goodnight.
What kids learn
Animal science and bedtime routine. Owl sounds (hoo hoo) and a calm call-and-response ("Who goes there? Hoo hoo!") that slows things down before sleep. A gentle wind-down song for the end of the day.
The pets in this song
Nyxie and Finn, plus a guest owl (the owl is not one of Ryan's pets).
Lyrics
Ooh ooh I'm perched up in the branches, looking down Ooh ooh Tiny feathers, king of this town Ooh ooh I blink twice when the night winds call Hoo hoo hoo Can you hear me down below? Tiptoe softly, don't make a sound Round eyes watching all around Hoo hoo, who's up in the tree? Hoo hoo, looking down at me Hoo hoo, singing through the night Flap-flap, blink-blink, what a funny sight Hoo hoo, say it loud and clear Hoo hoo, the night owl's here! Ooh ooh I'm a little spooky, that is true Ooh ooh But I'm smiling when I look at you Ooh ooh If you call, I'll answer from the tall old pine Hoo hoo hoo Now the nighttime song is mine Who goes there? Hoo hoo! Way up high? Hoo hoo! Round eyes wide? Hoo hoo! Sing it one more time! Hoo hoo, who's up in the tree? Hoo hoo, looking down at me Hoo hoo, singing through the night Flap-flap, blink-blink, what a funny sight Hoo hoo, say it loud and clear Hoo hoo, the night owl's here! Ooh ooh, sleepy tree Hoo hoo, come sing with me Ooh ooh, stars peek through Hoo hoo hoo, goodnight to you! Goodnight to you Goodnight to you
