The New Room Lullaby

Sarah, Sarah, please go to sleep

Your new room is waiting for you

The smell of petrol smoke and poster paint

All your friends waiting for you

And all this time we’ll be humming:

“Mmmmmmmmmm-mmm-mmmmmmm,

Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmmmmmm….”


Every one of us will be flying high in your dreams

Hold my hand, we’re going to new places untouched

Even Penelope, your best friend for life is here for you

To hold your hand while the wolves cry:

“Awwooooooo-ooo-ooooo.”


Dream you’re polar bears swimming Arctic seas and bonding

Just like Lars and his dad did in 1994

Or fly through the air and find a cloud to float upon

Make sure it’s soft, while we all howl:

“Awoooooooo-ooo-ooooooo,

Awooooo-ooooo-ooo-ooo-Aroooooooo!!”


And when the time comes for you to leave us behind,

Keep us in your heart forever,

You never know when you’ll see us again,

Maybe at the old age of 50,

Forever you’ll hear us humming:

“Hmmmmmmmm-mmm-mmmmmmm,

Mmmmmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmmmm-mmmmm…”


[Song echoes as it fades out]
