,Some people say a kid should easily sleep
,This poor kid's time is spend counting the sheep
,Counting the sheep, over my head
.One by one till I've counted the herd
?You count sixteen sheep, and what do you get
.The last one lingers, and hadn't gone yet
"!I whisper "Yo sheepie! my count I must keep
.That sixteenth sheep always sends me to sleep
,I showered one evening, my towel I've shed
,I picked up my Teddy and I walked to the bed
,I counted 16 heads of shaggy wooled sheep
"!And the last one said "well, he's fallen deep
?You count sixteen sheep, and what do you get
.The last one lingers, and hadn't gone yet
"!I whisper "Yo sheepie! my count I must keep
.That sixteenth sheep always sends me to sleep
,If you see me sleepin', better close the door
,A lotta men didn't, a lotta men swore
,One boot of iron, the other of steel
,I the right one won't wake me
!Then the left one will
?You count sixteen sheep, and what do you get
.The last one lingers, and hadn't gone yet
"!I whisper "Yo sheepie! my count I must keep
.That sixteenth sheep always sends me to sleep
