Rocking Horse Night Ride

Now three little brothers with blond silky heads

Are grumpy and tired, but won't go to bed

So Mama, who's older and wiser of course

Says "Come for a ride on my magical horse..."

"But first snuggle down, wrap blankets around, 

Then close your eyes tight and don't make a sound,

Listen and you'll hear, up high on the roof,

The soft rocking sound of a magical hoof..."

"First backwards then forwards so gently he sways

Jump onto his back and he'll whisk you away

Past moon and the stars on the wings of the night

As light as a feather, as high as a kite..."

"So dry all your tears it's time you must go"

Says Mama who's waving and waiting below

"He'll canter and fly, then gallop and leap

And take three young boys to the "Land of Deep Sleep"
