I Am Sleepy in the Middle of the Day
I am sleepy in the middle of the day. (x2)
Where can I lay my head? (x2)
Can I lay my head on the sofa?
Can I lay my head on a chair?
Can I lay my head on Mommy’s lap?
Can I just curl up on the stairs?
I am sleepy in the middle of the day.
Where can I lay my head?
Can I lay my head on the sidewalk?
Can I lay my head on the floor?.
Can I lay my head on Grandma’s lap?
Can I hang my head out the door?
I am sleepy in the middle of the day.
Where can I lay my head?
Can I lay my head on the dog’s back?
Can I lay my head on a book?
Can I lay my head on Papa’s lap?
Can I find a dark, quiet nook?
I am sleepy in the middle of the day.
Where can I lay my head?
I think I’ll try my bed!*

Good Night, Sleep Tight, My Little One
Words and melody by
Devon McClurken.
Arranged by Kathy Hanson
Good night, sleep tight,
my little one.
Good night, sleep tight,
my little one.
Good night, sleep tight,
my little one.
It’s time to go to sleep.
Close your eyes and dream,
my little one.
Close your eyes and dream,
my little one.
Close your eyes and dream,
my little one.
It’s time to go to sleep.
Sleep
Sleep, the breeze is whispering.
Sleep, the leaves are listening.
Sleep, cicadas tune their wings
So the little wren can sing.
Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, the coneflowers buzz with bees.
Sleep, a goldfinch bobs and weaves.
Sleep, the shadows dance with leaves.
Sleep, and clouds kiss tops of trees.
Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, the sunflowers bow their heads.
Sleep, the sunset fades to red.
Sleep, you drowse, content and fed.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
