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
