Background Info: Opie, 2000:131 records the version:

Good night, sleep tight,
Don't let the bugs bite;
If they do, don't squall,
Take a spoon and eat them all.

And:

Good night sweet repose;
Half the bed and all the clothes.

And:

Good night and sweet repose,
I hope the fleas will bite your nose;
And every bug as big as a bee
And then you'll have good company.
