Why are you so peepy
Ere the twilight dies?
See! the dustman calleth
As the shadows creep;
Eve’s dark mantle falleth,
And we long to sleep.

O we are so sleepy!
Blinky, winky eyes:
Why are you so peepy
Ere the twilight dies?
O we are so sleepy!
Blinky, winky eyes:
Why are you so peepy
Ere the twilight dies?
