There Were Ten in a Bed
Children's Song

There were ten in a bed*
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were nine in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were eight in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were seven in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were six in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were five in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were four in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were three in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were two in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There was one in a bed
And the little one said
"Good night!"

Notes

*This line can be "There were ten in a bed" or "There were ten in the bed".

The fantastic children at the Daddy Ross Preschool in Argentina act out the actions to the song Ten in the Bed in the video at the top of the page. The music in the background of the video is from a CD called Super Simple Songs. In Super Simple Songs' version of Ten in the Bed the last line is "I'm lonely".

Comments

A note from Mama Lisa: I remember singing this song with my older brother and sisters as kids growing up in the 1970's. I was the youngest - so I was always (happily) the littlest one at the end of the song!
