Lullaby for Jake

"I'm afraid we're running out of room." Taylor explained. "Since there are 11 Tweenies and ZOOMers altogether on the Alabama, two of you will have to sleep on the same sleeping quarter."

"We've got it, Tay!" Jake and Milo exclaimed.

"Good." Taylor sighed.

Jake and Milo got into the bottom bunk below Francesco. "Um.. Milo..."

"Yes, mate?" Milo asked.

"I'm a bit nervous about sleeping on a boat. I've never done it before." Jake commented.

"Well, it's gonna be OK. Jakey." Milo soothed.

"Yup. I've done that once." Kyle replied.

"Listen." Milo said.

Close your eyes now

Jakey, Jakey,

No time for you to play

You've got your teddy, now you're ready

Goodnight to another day

"Very beautiful!" Noreen commented.

Milo:

Go to sleep now

Jakey, Jakey,

No things for you to do

And now I'm keeping myself from sleeping

I'll snuggle up next to you.

"No! Keep going! I like it!" Nick smiled.

"This is no good! I just can't get comfortable on here today." Doodles said as he couldn't sleep. "What's in this beanbag, stones?!"

"Doodles, you're keeping us awake." groaned Kyle.

"We just need some sleep for once." Taylor replied.

"After all, we're on the Schooner Alabama." Emily explained.
