Shaney Boy - Kevin Johnson

Little boy, you seem to wake up earlier every morning

Come running from your bed to meet the day

With a pair of sleepy eyes that could have slept a little longer

And a thousand, urgent things you have to say

And the morning passes quickly in the Spring time

And the Spring, time brings such fascinating games

Puppy dogs and chocolate frogs and fishing lines

And pretending that you didn’t hear your mummy call your name

Shaney boy, your lunch is going cold here on the table

You have to eat these things to make you grow

And I know you’re only scared that you’ll be missing out on something

But even busy people have to eat, you know

And the afternoon goes quickly when there’s good times

And there’s good times in the garden every day

Little friendly butterflies that flutter by

And a little friend to help you chase those butterflies away

Shaney boy those eyes of yours are looking kinda drowsy

And I know you never want the day to end

But just think, if you close your eyes and lie back on the pillow

It won’t be long before the morning’s here again

And the morning passes quickly in our life time

And before you even notice, it’s gone

So, little boy, I’m noticin' the nice times, now

'Cos I know that little boys don’t stay little boys for long

Little boy, you seem to wake up earlier every morning

Come running from your bed to meet the day

With a pair of sleepy eyes that could have slept a little longer

And a thousand, urgent things you have to say
