From the diapers you will go forth, to the school you will go, you, my dear little boy, the alphabet you will learn. Close your lovely little eyes, sleep without worry or pain. From the school you will go forth, to Europe you will go, you, my dear little boy, a great doctor you will become. Close your lovely little eyes, sleep, sleep with pleasure From Europe you will return, a great doctor you will be, you, my dear little boy, sleep, sleep with comfort. Close your lovely little eyes, sleep, sleep with pleasure
