The Land of LEA Bed.

The lazy land of Lie-a-Bed
Has two fat pillows at the head,
A downy comfort spread all neat
And restful from the head to feet.
A drowsy, dreamy place to stay
And yawn, I'll not get up today"
And many children like to go
To wonder-wander here, you know.
1t is a pleasant land, and yet
If were you / would forget
The pathway there and follow back
The shining meT-v morning track.
The dream world lies too far away
From honest work and happy play.
And you must heed what you have read
And shun the land of Lie-a-Bed
