Requests
My princess wants a diamond crown.
My broomstick wants to fly to town.
My dragon wants a flaming tail.
My pirate wants a ship to sail.
My fairy wants new wings to fly.
My monster wants a bright green eye.
My teddy wants a furry friend.
My poem wants to reach the end.
But I’m Bo Peep who’s fast asleep
And I can’t help when counting sheep.
My broomstick wants to fly to town.
My dragon wants a flaming tail.
My pirate wants a ship to sail.
My fairy wants new wings to fly.
My monster wants a bright green eye.
My teddy wants a furry friend.
My poem wants to reach the end.
But I’m Bo Peep who’s fast asleep
And I can’t help when counting sheep.
