Full Lyrics
La la lu, la la lu,
Oh, my little star sweeper,
I'll sweep the stardust for you.
La la lu, la la lu,
Little soft fluffy sleeper,
Here comes a pink cloud for you.
La la lu, la la lu,
Little wandering angel,
Fold up your wings, close your eyes.
La la lu, la la lu,
And may love be your keeper,
La la lu, la la lu, la la lu.
About This Song
"La La Lu" was written by the legendary Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke for the 1955 animated film Lady and the Tramp. In the film, it is sung by Darling (voiced by Peggy Lee) to her newborn baby.
The song is one of the shortest but most touching lullabies in cinema history. Its simple, nonsense syllables "la la lu" create a soothing, hypnotic effect that perfectly captures the gentle love between parent and child.
Despite being less well-known than some other film lullabies, "La La Lu" is a hidden gem that many parents discover and fall in love with. Its brevity and simplicity make it easy to memorize and sing to your own little one at bedtime.
