The little boy is sitting on his knees
  Crosses his hands so God can see
  Hush-quiet-what?
  The little boy who saves his prayers
  
  Good God don't go away from mama
  She washes me and puts me to bed and stays with me
  Then she dresses me in warm pyjamas
  God bless papa I forgotten it
  
  When I think of what happened today
  A little song comes to mind
  I may not quit my prayer
  Forgive me God, I ask you kindly
  
  My pyjamas got a hood
  In my cap I hide my head
  She covers my eyes and my forehead too
  Nobody knows I'm there
  
  Thank you God for a good day
  Did I forget something, what was it
  I prayed for daddy and thought of you
  Yes now I remember, God bless me
  
  The little boy sleeps well
  The day is over , the night has come
  Hush-quiet-what?
  The little boy who saves his prayers
