lyrics

ALL
Bah...hey!

Bah...hey!

NARRATOR 1
UP THE HILL THAT THE CREEK RUNS DOWN
THERE’S A MOONLIT FARM AT THE EDGE OF THE TOWN

NARRATORS 1+2
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT LITTLE FARM
THERE’S A SHEEP OUT LIVIN’ OUT IN THE BARN
YOU KNOW THAT THE SHEEP IS IN THE BARN
BUT THE SHEEP IS ASLEEP IN THE BARN ON THE FARM.

DREAM, DREAMIN’ SHEEP (Bah...hey!)
OHH-OHH DREAMIN’ SHEEP (Bah..hey! Bah..hey!)

WHAT DO DREAMIN’ SHEEP DREAM ABOUT
WHEN THE SUN IS GONE AND THE STARS COME OUT?

THE SHEEP ARE DREAMIN’ ABOUT BEING IN SCHOOL
WRITING WITH PENCILS LIKE THE CHILDREN DO
THE SHEEP ARE TAKIN’ A SPELLING TEST
THEY ALL GET A HUNDRED ON THE SPELLING TEST

DREAM, DREAMIN’ SHEEP (Bah..hey!)
OHH-OHH THE DREAMIN’ SHEEP (Bah..hey! Bah..hey!)

WHEN THE ROOSTER CROWS ON THE FARM THE NEXT DAY
THE SHEEP DECIDE TO ALL RUN AWAY

NARRATOR 1
OFF TO SCHOOL JUST LIKE THEY DREAMED

TEACHER
Alright class..settle down! Time for attendance. Jennifer?

JENNIFER
Here.


TEACHER
Great! Raymond?

RAYMOND
Present!

TEACHER
Great! Sheep?

ALL SHEEP
Bahhh..bahh….bah….

TEACHER
Great... Sheep?! What?! No! What are you sheep doing here? Nice try, but you can’t pull the wool over my eyes!

NARRATORS 1+2
BUT THEY GET KICKED OUT
THEY GET KICKED OUT
THEY GET KICKED OUT

THE SHEEP TURN SLOWLY BACK TO THE FARM
AND SLUMP UP THE HILL TOWARDS THE BIG OLD BARN

SHEEP 1
Aw man...I guess we’ll never get to go to school...

SHEEP 2
Yeah bummer.

SHEEP 1
Hey wait a minute... we could make our own school!

SHEEP 2
What?

SHEEP 1
Yeah! yeah! yeah! Our own schoo!l Hey everybody! I figured it out!
If that people school won’t have us, well then we don’t need them! We’ll make our own school... for sheep!
And someday our school will grow in size and prestige to the point where human people will want to attend our sheep school- just like we had dreamed of attending theirs!

SHEEP 3
And we’ll kick them out just like they did to us!

SHEEP 1
No no no! We’ll kick them..IN! Accept them and welcome them and nuzzle them with our wooly noses. Because we are sheep! And those humans might have snacks!

SHEEP 2
Well okay but what are we gonna call this school? No one wants to go to a school without a snappy name...

SHEEP 1
We’ll call it... Dreaming Sheep!

SHEEP 2
That’s pretty good...

SHEEP 1
Thank you.

ALL
Bah..hey! X8
