There were five sleepy heads all tucked into their beds,
while I sang a lullaby one got dream dust in her eye.
There were four sleepy heads playing possum with me,
Mr. Sandman came by and then there were three.
Moonbeams play peek-a-boo, three awake 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 sleepy heads, now they're all fast asleep.
