I snuggle in my mum’s bed

Soft sweet scented quilt

Fluffy pillow for my head

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

My dad sits quietly telling tails

Of scary pirates and treasure

With their bounty they set sail

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

Dad sneaks out, thinks I’m asleep

I’m Jack the baddest ever pirate

Found ten pence, all mine to keep

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

I fight baddies along mattress deck

Coat hanger sword in my hand

Dad’s coming back upstairs, oh heck!

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

I’m swinging from mast to snugly bed

To hide my golden treasure

But miss, landing on the floor instead

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

Blackbeard sails in, rescues me from a shark

Swimming in ‘The Carpet Sea’

Gives a secret pirate hug, looks a bit dark

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll lie

 

I back in mum’s snugly, sweet scented bed

A quilt of clouds, the softest pillow

‘Goodnight me hearty’, says dad, ’sleepy head’

Every night this is where I lie to dream

Every night this is where I dream I’ll ZZZZZ!!
