Once there was a little boy who wouldn't go to bed, / When they hinted at the subject he would only shake his head, / When they asked him his intentions, he informed them pretty straight / That he wouldn't go to bed at all, and Nursey needn't wait.
As their arguments grew stronger, and their attitude more strict, / I grieve to say that naughty boy just yelled and screamed and kicked. / And he made up awful faces, and he told them up and down / That he wouldn't go to bed for all the nurses in the town.
