Hap Palmer - Betty Beep lyrics

Betty Beep could not sleep Her mother said, "Try counting sheep" The lights went out, she lay back down Then heard her puppy's barking sound Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof! She counted barks instead of sheep The noises never let her sleep There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 barks She flopped back down, tossed around Then heard her cat's mee-ow-ing sound Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow She counted mee-ows instead of sheep The noises never let her sleep There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mee-ows She flopped back down, tossed around To baby sister's crying sound waah, waah, waah She counted cries instead of sheep The noises never let her sleep There were 1, 2, 3 cries She flopped back down, tossed around Then heard a trucker's honking sound Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep She counted beeps instead of sheep The noises never let her sleep There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 beeps She flopped back down, tossed around Next came grandpa's snoring sound Snore, snore, snore, snore, snore, snore She counted snores instead of sheep The noises never let her sleep There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 snores And Betty screamed "Seven, plus five, plus three, plus eight, plus six! I've heard twenty-nine noises now I need to sleep but I don't know how." Daddy said, "Here's just the thing." And he began to softly sing: Twenty-nine bunnies go bouncin' along Twenty-nine bunnies bounce If one of those bunnies should snuggle in bed Twenty-eight bunnies go bouncin' along (Similarly.....) Twenty-eight bunnies go bouncin' along..... Twenty-seven bunnies go bouncin' along..... (Counter melody) Betty's eyelids gently fell as daddy sang this song The story's done but if you like The song goes on and on..... Twenty-six bunnies go bouncin' along..... (Continue pattern as long as desired)
