There Were Ten in a Bed
"I remember singing this song with my older brother and sisters as kids growing up in the 1970's. I was the youngest - so I was always (happily) the littlest one at the end of the song, so I didn't have to 'fall' out of the bed unless I wanted to!"
There Were Ten in a Bed
Children's Song
There were ten in a bed*
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were nine in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were eight in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were seven in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were six in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were five in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were four in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were three in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were two in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There was one in a bed
And the little one said
"Good night!"
