There were five sleepy heads all tucked into their beds,
                                G7               C
while I sang a lullaby one got dream dust in her eye.
           F            C            G          C
There were four sleepy heads playing possum with me,

Mr. Sandman came by and then there were three.

          C                                   G
Moonbeams play peek-a-boo, three awake became two,
                                   G7                 C
and my song was almost done when the land of Nod took one.
           F            C              G           C
Kissed the last one goodnight, then I heard not a peep,
         F            C                 G       G7  C     C G G7 C
there were five sleepy heads, now they're all fast asleep.
