Top of the Tree - Monkey Dreams

Top of the Tree – That’s Not Me, Maybe I am a Monkey

I sit here and sometimes wonder

If I was top of the tree
Where would I be
Because it’s a scary place to be 

So I will not go up there
As it’s a place that I fear

But to sleep peacefully
Well that’s the best place for me

Slumber
Lumber
Sleeping tight 
Just a wink for me tonight

I’ve gone to bed now and have sweet dreams
But life is not all what it seems

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head, 
You have fallen out of bed

Yet again you fail to bend
So where is your new best friend

Mmm good question I say
They may have fallen from the hay

But do please leave me tonight 
As I will sleep and dream for all that’s right
