Lyrics

There were ten in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were nine in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were eight in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were seven in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were six in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were five in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were four in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were three in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were two in a bed
And the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There was one in a bed
And the little one said,
"Good night!"
