This song has been used by countless tired parents and carers who need to convince busy young children that it really is bed time.  Although the moon can be seen, and is often noticed by children travelling in car seats, during the day, it is at its shining best in the night sky. Therefore, it is an apt symbol of the bedtime teller.  He does give fair warning and doesn’t just scoot them off, which is clever child management.  He plants the idea idea “think about getting to bed”.
