he's calling you
you boys, you girls
so fall out of BED and laugh a laugh
—dream a dream
he's lonely there
he's waiting there
for you to come and play
we'll run all day and hunt all night
we'll never sleep at bedtime
never drink our medicine
we'll tease the ticking crocodile
we'll chase down all the pirates
and if you're quiet
—really quiet
maybe you'll meet a mermaid
we'll chat with the stars
and sleep under trees
and when you’re done having fun
he'll let you go BACK to your HOME
BACK to your waiting BED
where you can GROW UP and GROW OLD
but if you ever need a friend
come back to Neverland.
