The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear.
Please go the [bad word] to sleep

The whales huddle down in the deep.
I’ll read you one very last book if you swear
You’ll go the [bad word] to sleep.

The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest
And the creatures who [bad word]  and creep.
I know you’re not thirsty. That’s [bad word]  Stop lying.

All the kids from day care are in dreamland.
The froggie has made his last leap. [bad word] no, you can’t go to the bathroom.

The owls fly forth from the treetops.
Through the air, they soar and they sweep.
hot crimson rage fills my heart, love.
For real, shut the [bad word] up and sleep.

The cubs and the lions are snoring,
Wrapped in a big snuggly heap.
How is it you can do all this other great [bad word] But you can’t lie the [bad word] down and sleep?

The seeds slumber beneath the earth now
And the crops that the farmers will reap.
No more questions. This interview’s over.
I’ve got two words for you, kid: [bad word] sleep.

The tiger reclines in the simmering jungle.
The sparrow has silenced her cheep. [bad word] your stuffed bear, I’m not getting you [bad word] 
Close your eyes. Cut the [bad word]  Sleep.

The flowers doze low in the meadows
And high on the mountains so steep.

The furniture crappy and cheap.

As I nod the [bad word] off, and sleep.

Bleary and dazed I awaken
To find your eyes shut, so I keep
My fingers crossed tight as I tiptoe away
And pray that you’re [bad word] asleep.

We’re finally watching our movie.
Popcorn’s in the microwave. Beep.
