Now We Are Six/In the Dark

I’ve had my supper, And had my supper,  And HAD my supper and all;I’ve heard the story Of Cinderella,  And how she went to the ball;I’ve cleaned my teeth, And I’ve said my prayers,  And I’ve cleaned and said them right;And they’ve all of them been And kissed me lots,  They’ve all of them said “Good-night.”

So—here I am in the dark alone,There’s nobody here to see;

    I think to myself,    I play to myself,  And nobody knows what I say to myself;Here I am in the dark alone,  What is it going to be?I can think whatever I like to think,I can play whatever I like to play,I can laugh whatever I like to laugh,  There’s nobody here but me.

I’m talking to a rabbit . . .  I’m talking to the sun . . .

I think I am a hundred—  I’m one.I’m lying in a forest . . .  I’m lying in a cave . . .I’m talking to a Dragon . . .  I’m BRAVE.I’m lying on my left side . . .  I’m lying on my right . . .I’ll play a lot tomorrow . . .  . . . . . . .

I’ll think a lot tomorrow  . . . . . . .

I’ll laugh . . .a lot . . .tomorrow . . .(Heigh-ho!)Good-night.
