Now We Are Six

I’ve had my supper,

And had my supper,

And HAD my supper and all;

I’ve heard the story

Of Cinderella,

And how she went to the ball;

I’ve cleaned my teeth,

And I’ve said my prayers,

And I’ve cleaned and said them right;

And they’ve all of them been

And kissed me lots,

They’ve all of them said “Good-night.”

So—here I am in the dark alone,

There’s nobody here to see;

I think to myself,

I play to myself,

And nobody knows what I say to myself;

Here I am in the dark alone,

What is it going to be?

I can think whatever I like to think,

I can play whatever I like to play,

I can laugh whatever I like to laugh,

There’s nobody here but me.

I’m talking to a rabbit…

I’m talking to the sun…

I think I am a hundred—

I’m one.

I’m lying in a forest…

I’m lying in a cave…

I’m talking to a Dragon…

I’m BRAVE.

I’m lying on my left side…

I’m lying on my right…

I’ll play a lot tomorrow…

I’ll think a lot tomorrow…

I’ll laugh…

a lot…

tomorrow…

(Heigh-ho!)

Good-night.
