Mother and Child
For a little face, that's the biggest yawn
Look at teddy bear yawning too
All those animals sleeping in your bed
Do you really think there'll be room for you?
Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy-like
Are you comfortable, little lamb?
Such a sleepy smile you must surely know
All the lovely things you'll be dreaming of
Swinging tree top high, sliding belly down
Eating jelly beans to your heart's delight
In a fairy tale in a wonderland through the night
I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open
So I can have a little light from the hallway
If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing
I know I won't be frightened, maybe
At night I know that's just my chair, the nice red one
But it looks different than it looks in the daytime
Sometimes I think it's moving, a big enormous monster
A dinosaur or dragon maybe
I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches
I'm scared a wicked witch will eat me
Oh, how I wish it wasn't always dark at night
For a little face, that's the biggest yawn
I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open
Look at teddy bear yawning too
So I can have a little light from the hallway
All those animals sleeping in your bed
If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing
Do you really think there'll be room for you?
I know I won't be frightened, maybe
Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy-like
At night I know that's just my chair, the nice red one
Are you comfortable, little lamb?
But it looks different than it looks in the daytime
Such a sleepy smile you must surely know
Sometimes I think it's moving, a big enormous monster
All the lovely things you'll be dreaming of
A dinosaur or dragon maybe
Swinging tree top high, sliding belly down
I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches
Eating jelly beans to your heart's delight
I'm scared a wicked witch will eat me
In a fairy tale in a wonderland through the night
Oh, how I wish it wasn't always dark at night
Look at teddy bear yawning too
All those animals sleeping in your bed
Do you really think there'll be room for you?
Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy-like
Are you comfortable, little lamb?
Such a sleepy smile you must surely know
All the lovely things you'll be dreaming of
