[Verse 1]
N.C.       D                                       A
There were five sleepyheads, all tucked into their beds
                    A7          A                  D
While I sang a lullaby, one got dream dust, in her eye

[Verse 2]
           G          D              A            D
There were four sleepyheads, playing possum, with me
    G            D      E7              A
Mr. Sandman came by and then there were three

[Verse 3]
          D                                   A7
Moonbeams play peek-a-boo, three awake became two
A                            A7                         D
And my song was almost done, when the land of Nod, took one

[Verse 4]
           G            D             A           D
Kissed the last one goodnight, then I heard not a peep
           G          D                  A7          D
There were five sleepyheads, now they're all, fast a(sleep)
