Actually written by Harry Nillson...

Everybody needs to have somebody even if it’s only me

Stops your crying swee' peas and try to go to sleeps

I don’t know how you got here, I don’t knows if you cares

You could have come from heaven or a typhoon anywhere

Well me I came from heaven of Catalina lagoon

And I was told me mammy gave me up in a typhoon

So don't you cry, little Swee'pea, You and me, we’re both the same,

And the biggest tear I ever seen Came from the eye of a hurricane.

Go to sleep, sleep sleepy. Now tell me what you see's.

And someday when youse older. I'll tell youse all about me ...
