sara swan sleepy head

sara the swan let out a big yawn

and headed to the bathroom sink

in the mirror she stared

for a while there

it seemed like a good place to think

she had a strange feeling was she dreaming

the light so strangely gleaming

there's a knock at the door

a funny suit sammy wore

and on his face an ear to ear grin

he said sara

dear

i could use your help here

please wont you let me in

then her mom said

get out of bed sara swan sleepy head

the day light is burning while the clock hands are turning

but this dreaming sara said

is better than what i have

the world when i sleep

is the one i want to keep

oh get out of bed

sara swan sleepy head

back in her dream

she went running

to answer the door

lickity split

and still waiting by

with a patch on his eye

stood sammy all of two foot six

adventure reflected in the pool of his eyes

sara let out an audible sigh

with the sword in his hand

he gave the command

before she could count to ten

the pirates were there

with knots and beads in their hair

like rats they came pouring in

back in dream land

sammy took her hand

and led her to a safe hiding place

but the coast was not clear

and sara swan

she could hear

the heavy boot steps of someone giving chase

her heart was beating fast

she feared it would jump right out of her chest

she was confronted

with a sword that was pointed

it no longer seemed like play

she let out a scream

said but this is just a dream"
