"Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight" is a medley of classic Beatles songs "Golden Slumbers" and "Carry That Weight", sung by Jennifer Hudson (as Young Nana Noodleman). It is found on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

It is heard three times throughout Sing:

  • During Epiphany, the performance which sparked Buster Moon's interest in theater in the opening of the film.
  • The aftermath of the destruction of the Moon Theater and the sulking of most of the main performers.
  • The reconstruction and grand re-opening of the Moon Theater at the ending of the film.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

[Verse 1]
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh...
(Carry that weight for a long time) Oh...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy you're gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight for a long time

[Verse 2]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down

[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh boy... you're gonna carry
I'm gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight... a long time
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Carry that weight
Carry that weight for a long time

[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
And I will sing a lullaby
