The boat to dreamland (A Lullaby)

The little boat;

it drifts away;

it drifts away;

it drifts away.

The little boat;

it drifts away;

it drifts away

to dreamland.

 

And on that boat

there is a cat;

there is a cat

in a green hat.

And on that boat

there is a cat

and he’s going to dreamland.

 

And with him is

an elephant;

an elephant;

an elephant.

And with him is

an elephant

whose trunk is packed

for dreamland.

 

And there’s a little

dancing doll;

a dancing doll

whose name is Moll.

And there’s a little

dancing doll

who’s dancing off

to dreamland.

 

And there’s a sailor

dressed in blue;

all dressed in blue

whose name is Lou.

And there’s a sailor

dressed in blue

who’s sailing off

to dreamland.

 

And there’s a little

teddybear;

a teddybear

with golden fur.

And there’s a little

Teddybear

and he’s going to dreamland.

 

And there’s even

a unicorn;

a unicorn

with a silver horn

and there’s even

a unicorn

who’s going home

to dreamland.

 

And the moons shining

in the night;

up in the night,

it’s big and bright.

And the moons shining

in the night

as they drift off

to dreamland.

 

Why don’t you come

along with them

along with them

along with them?

Why don’t you come

along with them

upon that boat

to dreamland?
