We'Ll All Feel Fine
Don’t go walking in the forest where the trees have fingers
And the lions go aprowling and the moon hangs low
Don’t go skipping through the alleyways of strange dark shadows
Don’t you dawdle where it’s lonely. Oh my child, don’t go.
Stay here by the fire where the kitten’s furry purry
And the fire snaps and crickle cracks and kettles fairly shine
And the popcorn it kerpopples and the tea is sweet with lemon
And we’ll dine on butter brickle and we’ll all feel fine.
Don’t go tripping by the frozen lake where ice is blue as glaciers
Don’t get caught up in the wild wind and blown up by the storm
Don’t go hiking where the polar bears will growl from hibernation
Stay here by the fire where it’s always safe and warm
And we’ll sing our hearts like multicolored dream-furled flowers
And we’ll throw our arms around each other, dance away the time
And we’ll stare in crazy wonder at the storm through the window
And we’ll play the hurdygurdy and we’ll all feel fine.
Now the fire’s nearly dying and the shadows are much closer
And your featherbed is comfy where the eaves hang low
And your eyes are getting heavy, child. The cabin’s warm and cozy
And we’ll always be together, so to sleep you’ll go.
The wind’s no longer howling and the snow is drifting softly
And the kitten’s curled and snoring and the round moon shines
And the love we share together is so safe and true and perfect
So we’ll dream until tomorrow and we’ll all feel fine.
