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 Written by Bennett and Tepper
