(words & music by sid tepper - roy c. bennett) There were five sleepyheads All tucked into their beds While I sang a lullaby One got dream dust in her eye
There were four sleepyheads Playing possum with me Mr. sandman came by And then there were three
Moonbeams play peek-a-boo Three away 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 sleepyheads Now they're all fast asleep
