"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, Sammy Davis Jr., Carmen McRae, Silje Nergaard, Vince Jones, Carly Simon, and a duet with Seth MacFarlane and Norah Jones. It was also performed on the short-lived variety show with Twiggy, the former model, and Jeremy Brett, renowned for his role as Sherlock Holmes.
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 married couple who, while tired, are too much in love to bring themselves to go to sleep for the night.
