Ceenoa

I don’t want to go to sleep Mum,
I’m really not that tired,
I don’t want to go to sleep Mum,
I just want to rub my eyes!

I don’t want to snuggle on your lap,
but if you lay me on the floor,
I shall cry and grumble,
in that voice you can’t ignore!

I don’t want to go to sleep Mum,
I’m not tired, you know I’m not,
I don’t want to go to sleep Mum,
please don’t put me in my cot!

I don’t want to suck my dummy,
or cuddle with Batman,
What you doing now, Mum?,
Oh, you’ve given me to Gran.

I don’t want to go to sleep Granma,
While you hold me in your arms,
What you talking ’bout Granma?
when you say “he wriggles like a worm”?

I didn’t mean to shut my eyes
I’ll rub them once again,
oh look, you’ve got my Batman,
please, can I have my friend?

OK, I’ll have a cuddle now,
while I fly him round my head,
and can you rock and pat me,
’cause I think it’s time for bed.
