Lyrics
Tonight Mom asked, ?Why aren?t you asleep??
I simply replied, ?I?m counting sheep.?
?But honey,? she said, ?Sheep help you sleep.?
I guess mom?s never met the FRISKY SHEEP.
One, two three sheep were jumping with ease.
Four stopped and said, ?Stop counting please.?
We talked and then we finally agreed,
The sheep went on a jumping spree.
CHORUS
Frisky Sheep, Frisky Sheep,
They never tire leap after leap.
Frisky Sheep, Frisky Sheep,
Why won?t they let me go to sleep?
The jumping went on and they caught a breeze
That took them way above the trees.
?Mom, I really saw, I really believe!
Didn?t you hear the fourth sheep speak??
Chorus
Mom cried, ?You?re something, my little child!
Your thoughts have run deep into the wild.?
After she left, I counted a while,
I got to the fourth sheep he winked and smiled!
Chorus
