Winkin Blinkin & Nod

Winkin, blinkin and nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew

"Where are you going and what do you wish?"
The ol' moon asked the three
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That swim in the beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we"
Said Winkin, blinkin and nod

The ol' moon laughed and he sang this song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped down all night long
Ruffled the sea of dew

The silver stars were the herring fish
That swims in the beautiful sea
"Cast your nets wherever you wish
Never afeared are we"
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Winkin, blinkin and nod

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam
Then the wooden shoe sailed from the sky
Bringing the fishermen home
Now we shall name you the fishermen three
Winkin, blinkin and nod

Now, Winkin and blinkin are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the sky
A wee one's trundle bed

Now close your eyes and dream the dreams
That some say could not be

And you will rock in the wooden shoe upon the misty sea
Where the ol' moon rocked the fishermen three
Winkin, blinkin and nod
Winkin and blinkin and nod
