Melanie: Christopher Robin (is saying his prayers)

Little boy kneels at the foot of the bed,

Droops on his little hands, little gold head.

Sssttt, whisper. Who dares?

Christopher Robin is saying his prayers:

"God bless Mommy, I know that's right,

And wasn't it fun in the bath tonight,

The cold's so cold and the hot's so hot.

God bless Daddy, I quite forgot.

If I open my eyes just a little bit more

I can see Nanny's dressing-gown on the door;

It's a beautiful blue but it hasn't got a hood,

God bless Nanny and make her good.

Mine has a hood and I lie in bed

And I pull the hood right over my head,

And I shut my eyes and I curl up small

And nobody knows that I'm there at all.

Thank you God, for a lovely day,

And what was the other I wanted to say?

I said, 'Bless Daddy', so what could it be?

Now I remember: God bless me".

Little boy kneels at the foot of the bed,

Droops on his little hands, little gold head.

Sssttt, whisper. Who dares?

Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
