No - I did not take a nap -The nap - took - meoff the bed and out the windowfar beyond the sea,to a land where sleepy headsread only comic booksand lock their naps in iron safesso that they can't get took.
And soon as I came to that land,
I also came to grief.
The people pointed at me, shouting,"Where's the nap, you thief?"They took me to the courthouse.
The judge put on his cap.
He said, "My child, you are on trialfor taking someone's nap."Yes, all you selfish children,you think just of yourselvesand don't care if the nap you takebelongs to someone else.
It happens that the nap you tookwithout a thought or carebelongs to Bonnie Bowlingbrook,who's sittin' cryin' there."She hasn't slept in quite some time -just see her eyelids flap.
She's tired drowsy - cranky too,'cause guess who took her nap?"The jury cried, "You're guilty, yes,you're guilty as can be.
But just return the nap you
And we might set you free.""I did not take that nap," I cried,"I give my solemn vow,and if I took it by mistakeI do not have it now.""Oh fiddle-fudge," cried out the judge,your record looks quite sour.
Last night I see you stole a kiss,
Last week you took a shower,"You beat your eggs, you've whipped your cream,at work you punched the clock,
You've even killed an hour or two,we've heard you darn your socks.
We know you shot a basketball,you've stolen second base,and we can see you're guiltyfrom the sleep that's on your face."Go lie down on your blanket nowand cry your guilty tears.
I sentence you to one long napfor ninety million years.
And when the other children seethis nap that never ends,no child will ever dare to takesomebody's nap again."
