Shaney Boy

Little boy, you seem to wake up earlier every morning Come running from your bed to meet the day With a pair of sleepy eyes that could have slept a little longer And a thousand, urgent things you have to say And the morning passes quickly in the Spring time And the Spring, time brings such fascinating games Puppy dogs and chocolate frogs and fishing lines And pretending that you didn't hear your mummy call your name Shaney boy, your lunch is going cold here on the table You have to eat these things to make you grow And I know you're only scared that you'll be missing out on something But even busy people have to eat, you know And the afternoon goes quickly when there's good times And there's good times in the garden every day Little friendly butterflies that flutter by And a little friend to help you chase those butterflies away Shaney boy those eyes of yours are looking kinda drowsy And I know you never want the day to end But just think, if you close your eyes and lie back on the pillow It won't be long before the morning's here again And the morning passes quickly in our life time And before you even notice, it's gone So, little boy, I'm noticin' the nice times, now 'Cos I know that little boys don't stay little boys for long Little boy, you seem to wake up earlier every morning Come running from your bed to meet the day With a pair of sleepy eyes that could have slept a little longer And a thousand, urgent things you have to say
