Batten down the hatches we'll build a fire to keep us warm During the cold we'll be banished to night we'll leave behind the world Come along child tonight we'll live in Nursery Rhymes Sing only songs as summertime, sleep until dawn At the break of the day we'll step outside for a leisurely stroll Stop to admire the view and smell the flowers There will be no battalion to skurd around, no boys with guns and no time for childhood games Come along child tonight we'll live in Nursery Rhymes Sing only songs as summertime, sleep until dawn Come along child child tonight we'll live in Nursery Rhymes Sings only songs as summer time, sleep until dawn
