A wee little star
Language: English
A wee little star lived up in the sky,
Ever so high, up, ever so high;
And the way it kept blinking,
You couldn't help thinking,
Up there in the sky, it wanted to cry;
Up ever so high, up, ever so high.
But this same little star, who lived up in the sky.
Ever so high, up, ever so high,
Was just playing "bo-peep",
With a boy half asleep
Who thought he could spy a hole in the sky,
Up ever so high, up ever so high.
