On the road to Sleepy-Town.”
At that very minute Betty sat down and fell asleep under the wind-mill.
All the rest of the children trooped on. They could see the lights of Sleepy-Town twinkle, twinkle, twinkle in the distance.
They heard the sleepy little birds twittering in the trees.
“Here comes a boy much like a clown,
He often visits Sleepy-Town.”
At that very minute Billy sat down under the trees and fell asleep, while the other children went hurrying on.
They passed by a sleepy little brook that went singing over the stones:
“Hurrah, hurrah for your little night gown,
You’ll need it soon in Sleepy-Town.”
