There were five sleepyheads

All tucked into their beds

While I sang a lullaby

One got dream dust in her eye



There were four sleepyheads

Playing possum with me

Mr. Sandman came by

And then there were three



Moonbeams play peek-a-boo

Three away became two

And my song was almost done

When the land of Nod took one



Kissed the last one goodnight

Then I heard not a peep

There were five sleepyheads

Now they're all fast asleep
