Sleepyhead

Sleepyhead, sleepyhead,
Good night, good night, my Sleepyhead.

Your teeth are brushed, your book is read.
Go to sleep. It’s time for bed.

One more book, says Sleepyhead.

Sleepyhead, sleepyhead,
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams, my Sleepyhead.

We’ve hugged our hugs, the prayers are said.
Go to sleep. It’s time for bed.

One more hug, says Sleepyhead.

Sleepyhead, Sleepyhead,
Now close your eyes, my Sleepyhead.

We’ve kissed our kiss, your quilt is spread.
Go to sleep. It’s time for bed.

One more kiss, says Sleepyhead.

Sleepyhead, Sleepyhead,
The moon is high, my Sleepyhead.

You’ve drunk your drink.
Good night, I said. Go to sleep.
It’s time for bed.

One more drink, says Sleepyhead.

And…

One more teddy, one more snuggle.
One more comfy, cozy cuddle.

Just one more, says Sleepyhead.
I promise then I’ll go to bed.

One more story said just right, one more gaze upon the night.

Just one more, says Sleepyhead.
I promise then I’ll go to bed.

One more blanky piled on.
One more stretch and one more yawn…

Just one more, says Sleepyhead.
I promise then I’ll go to bed.

Sleepyhead, Sleepyhead.
Sleep tight, sleep tight, my Sleepyhead.
Tomorrow’s play is just ahead.
I love you so. Now rest your head.

Not a word says Sleepyhead.
