Time for bed 

Into your pajama’s my darling,

it’s time to go to bed.

Get yourself under the warm blankets.

Here my sweet heart, a fluffy pillow for your head.

Now I’ll begin to tell you a story,

so close your little eyes.

Cause now it’s time for,

‘Bedie byes.’

There once was a valiant sailor,

a sailing the seven seas.

A brave and gallant sailor,

on an ocean discovery.

And once upon a time,

in a land called “forever dreams.”

Lived a handsome young king

betrothed to marry his one and only queen.

Now if you listen carefully,

you’ll be traveling there tonight.

In your own magic dreams

of kings and queens and sailors and knights.

So close your little eyes,

don’t open them!

O don’t’ you dare peep!

For it’s time for a night time adventure

in the land of ‘dreams and sleep.’

Are you ready?

Well, once upon a time …..
