The flowers all sleep soundly Beneath the moon's bright ray They nod their heads together And dream the night away The rustling trees wave to and fro And murmur soft and low Sleep on; sleep on; sleep on, my little one The birds sleep in the branches The horse lies in the hay The dolphins say goodnight Floating peacefully in the bay The bear is snuggled in its den The pig sleeps in the pen Sleep on; sleep on; sleep on, my little one The hens sleep in their house Roosting quietly in a row The mice out in the field Burrow down in the earth below
The monkeys sleep up in a tree The fish down in the sea Sleep on; sleep on; sleep on, my little one The baby kangaroo Snoozes safe in its mother's pouch The dog is dozing off Curled up by the parlor couch The weary turtle slides inside It's cozy shell to hide Sleep on; sleep on; sleep on, my little one The camels slumber under A star filled desert sky The cat lies on the rug While her kittens sleep nearby The drowsy cows sleep peacefully Underneath the tree Sleep on; sleep on; sleep on, my little one
