Lyrics

[edit]

The first modern version of the song lyrics are:

There were ten in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were nine in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were eight in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!"
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were seven in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were six in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were five in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were four in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were three in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There were two in the bed, and the little one said:
"Roll over! Roll over!”
So, they all rolled over and one fell out.

There was one in the bed, and the little one said:
"I'm Lonely."
