Lyrics

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
Hush-a bye my baby, no need to be crying
You can burn the midnight oil with me
As long as you will
Stare out at the moon
Upon the windowsill, and dream..

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
Hush-a bye my baby, no need to be crying
There's dew drops on the window sill
Gumdrops in your head
Slipping into dream land
You're nodding your head, so dream..

Dream of west virginia, or of the british isles
'Cause when you are dreaming
You see for miles and miles
When you are much older, remember when we sat
At midnight on the windowsill
And had this little chat
And dream, come on and dream
Come on and dream, and dream, and dream..
