Ten in the bed song lyrics
There were ten in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were nine in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were eight in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were seven in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were six in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were five in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were four in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were three in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There were two in the bed
And the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out,
There was one in the bed
And the little one said, "Good night!"
