Sleepy Harry.
I do not like to go to bed,
Sleepy little Harry said,
So, naughty Betty, go away,
I will not come at all, I say.
Sleepy little Harry said,
So, naughty Betty, go away,
I will not come at all, I say.

Oh, what a little silly fellow!
I should be quite ashamed to tell her;
Then, Betty, you must come and carry
This very foolish little Harry.
I should be quite ashamed to tell her;
Then, Betty, you must come and carry
This very foolish little Harry.
The little birds are better taught,
They go to roosting when they ought;
And all the ducks and fowls, you know,
They went to bed an hour ago.
They go to roosting when they ought;
And all the ducks and fowls, you know,
They went to bed an hour ago.
The little beggar in the street,
Who wanders with his naked feet,
And has not where to lay his head,
Oh, he'd be glad to go to bed.
Who wanders with his naked feet,
And has not where to lay his head,
Oh, he'd be glad to go to bed.
