    Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are
    Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky
    Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are

    Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
    Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown.
    Rapping at the windows, crying through the lock,
    "Are the children all in bed? For it's now eight o'clock".

    Hey Willie Winkie, are ye comin' ben?
    The cat's singin' grey thrums to the sleepin' hen,
    The dog's speldert on the floor and disna gie a cheep,
    But here's a waukrife laddie that winna fa' asleep.

    Onything but sleep, you rogue, glow'ring like the moon,
    Rattlin ' in an airn jug wi' an airn spoon,
    Rumblin', tumblin' roon about, crawin' like a cock,
    Skirlin' like I kenna what, waukerin' sleepin' folk.

    Hey Willie Winkie, the wean's in a creel,
    Wamblin, aff a bodie's knee like a verra eel,
    Ruggin' at the cat's lug and ravenin' a' her thrums-
    "Hey Willie Winkie! See, here he comes!"

    The rosy clouds float over head
    The sun is going down
    And now the sandman's gentle tread
    Comes stealing through the town
    White sand, white sand he softly cries
    And as he shakes his hand
    Straight way there lies in babies eyes
    His gift of shining sand
    Blue eyes, black eyes, grey eyes and brown
    As he throws, they softly close
    As he goes through the town
