Twins - Betty Beep lyrics

rate me

etty Beep could not sleep

Her mother said, "Try counting sheep"

The lights went out, she lay back down

Then heard her puppy's barking sound

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!

She counted barks instead of sheep

The noises never let her sleep

There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 barks

She flopped back down, tossed around

Then heard her cat's mee-ow-ing sound

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow

She counted mee-ows instead of sheep

The noises never let her sleep

There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mee-ows

She flopped back down, tossed around

To baby sister's crying sound waah, waah, waah,

She counted cries instead of sheep

The noises never let her sleep

There were 1, 2, 3 cries

She flopped back down, tossed around

Then heard a trucker's honking sound

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep

She counted beeps instead of sheep

The noises never let her sleep

There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 beeps

She flopped back down, tossed around

Next came grandpa's snoring sound

Snore, snore, snore, snore, snore, snore,

She counted snores instead of sheep

The noises never let her sleep

There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 snores

And Betty screamed,

"Seven, plus five, plus three, plus eight, plus six!

I've heard twenty-nine noises now

I need to sleep but I don't know how."

Daddy said, "Here's just the thing."

And he began to softly sing:

Twenty-nine bunnies go bouncin' along

Twenty-nine bunnies bounce

If one of those bunnies should snuggle in bed

Twenty-eight bunnies go bouncin' along

(Similarly...)

Twenty-eight bunnies go bouncin' along...

Twenty-seven bunnies go bouncin' along...

(Counter melody)

Betty's eyelids gently fell as daddy sang this song

The story's done but if you like,

The song goes on and on...

Twenty-six bunnies go bouncin' along...

(Continue pattern as long as desired)
