She creeps in at midnight When nobody knows Ever so lightly On her tip toes She knows she shouldn’t do it She just can’t keep still Something inside her finds it a thrill
From bed to bed she hops all night Beneath the covers Out of sight The warmth of the bed It can be of any kind Bunk bed Double She really doesn’t mind
You see Leggy is a girl Who’s playful and sweet She just finds it hard To settle down to sleep
One night on the hop She went a bed too far Out the front door Past the car She stumbled into the neighbours Who owned a great big cat Huddled down beside him On his big fat mat
“My word,” said the neighbour “What have we here?” When she woke to find Leggy Asleep by his ear
With a hop skip and a jump Leggy woke with a fright “What did I get up to late last night?“ She ran to her mama “I promise,” she said “From this day on, I’ll sleep in my bed!”
