Count sheep (Children's song)

(Intro)

One sheep,
two sheep,
three sheep,
four sheep,
five sheep,
six sheep,
seven sheep
more sheep...

 

1.
If you want to sleep
then try counting sheep;
nothing makes you snooze
like lambs, rams and ewes.

 

If they're soft and wooly
then you will fall fully
asleep.

 

2.

 

If you want a kip
then sheep are my tip;
counting a large number
will soon make you slumber.

 

Imagine them leaping
and you'll soon be sleeping
quite deep
if you count sheep.

 

Chorus:

 

I'm not trying to pull the wool over your eyes;
just give it a try; I'm sure you'll be surprised.
You start with a first, a second and third
and before you know it you've counted a herd.

 

If you don't like sheep then cows can be done
and just as your counting one thousand and one,
then you will drift off up to dreamland I'm sure.
Sheep are natures greatest insomnia cure.

 

3.

 

Think of a big crowd
floating by like clouds;
they baa going by
softly 'cross the sky

 

and just like one of those
you will drift off and close
your eyes.

 

4.

 

Let herds fill your head
as you lie in bed
all cosy and snug
with a lamb to hug.

 

And if that gets dull
the sheep can bleat lull-
abyes
as you count sheep .

 

Chorus:

 

I'm not trying to pull the wool over your eyes;
just give it a try; I'm sure you'll be surprised.
You start with a first, a second and third
and before you know it you've counted a herd.

 

If you don't like sheep then cows can be done
and just as your counting one thousand and one,
then you will drift off up to dreamland I'm sure.
Sheep are natures greatest insomnia cure.
