Lambie Pie Lullaby

The little lambs go every night
to find a place to sleep.
They look into sweet children's dreams
while they are fast asleep.
And when they find a happy dream
inside a little head
they snuggle close to that small child
inside that baby's bed.

For Bo Peep's fluffy charges still
believe in children's dreams,
and when they're snuggled close they can
peek in those dreams, it seems.
And sometimes they can even hop
inside those little dreams
and play all night with those small babes
beside sweet dreamland streams.

But when those little children wake
and raise their sleepy heads,
there are no sheep all snuggled close,
there's just a rumpled bed.
For only when the children dream
are lambs allowed in bed.
And when those children start to wake
the lambs rush home, instead.

So if you wake up in the morn
and find a rumpled sheet,
it's probably because the lambs
disturbed it with their feet.
But you will wake up happier
because your dreams were sweet,
and you won't mind if Lambie Pies
don't leave your bed sheets neat.

So every night before you sleep,
your prayers you ought to say.
Then close your eyes and count the sheep
who, in your dreams, will play.
And when you wake up from your sleep,
the lambs all gone away,
just smooth the wrinkles from the sheep
and have a happy day!
