(To the tune of Row, Row, Row your Boat)


It is nearly midnight,


And I'm very tired.


But my son just gave me a fright,


Now sleeping has backfired!





I wish I could stop worrying,


I really need my bed.


But my son keeps coughing,


So now I'll stay awake instead.





I wish I could relax,


Instead of being so soft.


It is not a major problem,


My poor son only coughed.





It really would be great,


To sleep the whole night through.


But as usual I'm up late.


The same as some of you.
