NINA NON
(Lewis / Raye / Yuffy)

as recorded by Joni James
with Orchestra & Chorus
conducted by Lew Douglas
1953


Nina Non, go to sleep;
I recall long ago
How my mother would sing to me
This melody on Christmas Eve.

Nina Non, (Nina Non) close your eyes, (close your eyes)
Santa's watching, you know,
So dream awhile, and Christmas morn
You'll see the toys!

Nina Non, Nina Non,
To my baby I sing,
And though years may go by,
You hear this Christmas lullaby.

(Nina Non) Nina Non, (go to sleep) go to sleep;
I recall long ago
How my mother would sing to me
This melody on Christmas Eve.

(Nina Non) Nina Non, (close your eyes) close your eyes,
Santa's watching, you know,
So dream awhile, and Christmas morn
You'll see the toys!

Nina Non, Nina Non,
To my baby I sing,
And though years may go by,
You hear this Christmas lullaby.
Nina Non, mm-mm-mm.
