Two Sleepy People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Two Sleepy People" is a song written on September 10, 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Frank Loesser.

As well as being recorded by Carmichael himself, the song has been performed and recorded by a number of artists including Al Bowlly, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Art Garfunkel, Fats Waller, and Carly Simon.

In 1939 the song was performed by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross in the film Thanks for the Memory.

It is often regarded as a companion piece to "Thanks for the Memory", written for the February 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938 by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger and also performed by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross.

The song tells of a couple who are tired out, but love each other so much that they cannot bring themselves to leave each other and go to bed.
