Its dark outside
The bed is made
There are teddies all over the place
We’ve read all the books
Exhausted ourselves
Now it’s time for bed
We’ve sung lots of songs
Hummed lullaby’s
And still there’s chattering voices.
The night light is on
It’s time to sleep
And then a yawn is heard
The bedroom goes quiet
Two girls are asleep
Hooray we can go to bed
And then the mutiny starts
The howling the crying
The getting out of bed
there’s no peace in our house
Nothing is quiet
The noises are loud
There’s jumping from the bed
Then it stops, quiet at last
We sleep and then the alarm clock starts
We’ve been very patient
But two girls get up
Chatty and full of life
And Grandad and I
With bags under our eyes
Just want a full nights sleep
