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:
"Good-night!"
