"WHEN IT IS TIME"

The wonderful animals God has made
All sleep in their special way,
Little birds stand on one little leg,
and tuck their heads away.
When it is time time to sleep,
When it is time, time to sleep.

Kittens curl up in a furry ball
And wrap their tails around,
Horses stand up in their wooden stalls,
Their sleepy heads hang down.
When it is time , time to sleep,
When it is time , time to sleep.

The wonderful animals God has made
All sleep in their special way,
Cows lie down upon their sides,
In the soft warm hay.
When it is time, time to sleep,
When it is time, time to sleep.

Sometimes the doggie stretches out,
Or curls up in a heap,
Look at the hippopotamus,
He goes to the river deep.
When it is time, time to sleep,
When it is time, time to sleep.

All of the little children now
Are tucked in their little beds,
With warm little blankets and clean soft sheets
And pillows for their heads.
When it is time, time to sleep,
When it is time, time to sleep,
When it is time, time to sleep.
