In the Dark

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.
