Blankets


My blanket is worn and in tatters,

But none of that really matters.

My blanket is faded and old,

But to me it's as precious as gold.

 

Oh, I wish I was a fuzzy, wuzzy blanket,

That is what I'd truly like to be.

'Cause if I was a fuzzy, wuzzy blanket,

Everyone would snuggle up with me.

 

Under the dark is a star,

Under the star is a tree,

Under the tree is a blanket,

And under the blanket is me.

          --Marchette Chute

 

At breakfast time, milk spilled on my blanket! Oh me, oh my!
Have to wash my blanket and hang it out to dry
(Lunch/peanut butter, snack/banana, dinner/spaghetti)
At bedtime, cookie crumbs dropped on my blanket! Oh me, oh my!
Have to shake my blanket out, no time to wash or dry
I need my blanket, it’s time for beddy bye!

Time for bed, time for bed,             (tap watch on wrist)
Fluff up the pillow,                           (pretend to fluff pillow)
Lay down your head.                        (lay head on hands)
Pull up the blanket,                          (sign “blanket”)
Tuck it in tight,                                 (hold hands under chin)
Close your eyes,                               (close eyes and tilt head)
And sleep all night.                         (snore)
