Counting Bears

     Imagine you've got lots of teddies…
     Feeling sleepy on your bed.
     Shall we count all the bears
     With nodding tired heads?
     Can you see the bears
     With dreamy eyes half closed?
     Look at all the teddy bears
     In a snoozy…drowzy doze.

Can you see…

     One…two…three…very sleepy bears,
          Four…five…six…sleepy, sleepy bears,
               Seven…eight…nine…bears fast asleep,
                        And number ten…a bear…
                              Whose sleepy eyes still peep.

     He's waiting to cuddle you
     As you snuggle down in bed.
     His name is Bedtime Bear,
     And he's a very sleepy ted,
     He's glad you are in bed now
     So he can say 'night-night'.
     He's glad that you are ready…
     to hug him, warm and tight.

So…'night-night' to…

     One…two…three…very sleepy bears,
          Four…five…six…sleepy, sleepy bears,
               Seven…eight…nine…bears fast asleep.
                    And number ten…a bear…
                         Who is drifting off to sleep.

     Nearly everyone's asleep now…
     In the bed, so snug and cosy.
     Ten happy bears and you…
     All relaxed…and dreamy.
     'Sweet dreams' you whisper…
     to all your bears…so softly.
     Bedtime Bear nods and smiles…
     And hugs you…very gently.

Mmm…'Sweet dreams' to you and…

     One …two…three…very sleepy bears,
          Four…five…six…sleepy, sleepy bears,
               Seven…eight…nine…bears fast asleep.
                    And number ten… a bear…
                         Who is smiling as he sleeps.
