	Jes see 'im of a mornin' as 'e sets up in 'is bed, And sez such things, it's wonderful 'ow they all come in 'is 'ead! And he sucks his blessed bottle till it's drier than a bone. Like his dad, 'e likes 'is bottle, — and 'e 's all our wery own. Ref. Sleep lightly, dream brightly, etc. And the things that nipper swallers — well, you really would n't think. If there is a thing he 's nuttier on than anything, it's ink! Drinks a glass full at a settin', — sich a thing was never known! And he dines orff nails and matches, — and he 's all our wery own. Ref. Sleep lightly, dream brightly, etc. He's got a narsty temper, —" Like 'is dad," 'is mammy sez, — And wotever he 's a likin' for, that little warmint 'es. He 's the ortiest of ortocrats wot sits upon a throne, For he does jest wot he bloomin' likes, — and he's all our wery own. Ref. Sleep lightly, dream brightly, etc.
