letra de nap taker - ramona mallory

no – i did not take a nap –
the nap – took – me
off the bed and out the window
far beyond the sea
to a land where sleepy heads
read only comic books
and lock their naps in iron safes
so that they can’t get took

and soon as i came to that land
i also came to grief
the people pointed at me, shouting
“where’s the nap, you thief?”
they took me to the courthouse
the judge put on his cap
he said, “my child, you are on trial
for taking someone’s nap

“yes, all you selfish children
you think just of yoursеlves
and don’t care if the nap you takе
belongs to someone else
it happens that the nap you took
without a thought or care
belongs to bonnie bowlingbrook
who’s sittin’ cryin’ there
“she hasn’t slept in quite some time –
just see her eyelids flap
she’s tired drowsy – cranky too
’cause guess who took her nap?”
the jury cried, “you’re guilty, yes
you’re guilty as can be
but just return the nap you took
and we might set you free.”

“i did not take that nap,” i cried
“i give my solemn vow
and if i took it by mistake
i do not have it now.”
“oh fiddle-f-dg-,” cried out the judge
your record looks quite sour
last night i see you stole a kiss
last week you took a shower

“you beat your eggs, you’ve whipped your cream
at work you punched the clock
you’ve even k!lled an hour or two
we’ve heard you darn your socks
we know you shot a basketball
you’ve stolen second base
and we can see you’re guilty
from the sleep that’s on your face
“go lie down on your blanket now
and cry your guilty tears
i sentence you to one long nap
for ninety million years
and when the other children see
this nap that never ends
no child will ever dare to take
somebody’s nap again.”
