Little Tommy Triplet

Little Tommy Triplet,
     Will you tell me something please..
If you answer me just right,
     I�ll give you a kiss and a great big squeeze.
This question may be tough,
     For a little boy like you,
But I happen to know that you�re pretty smart,
     For being just past two�

I know you�re sort of tired,
     �Cause you�ve played hard all day,
And it�s round about time for the sand-man
     To come and take you away.
But I�d like to hear those words
     As you climb into bed..
Whisper them to me before you touch the pillow,
     With your sleepy head.

I�m watching your large brown eyes
     And wondering what you think.
Up go your lips in the sweetest smile
     And there, you just threw me a wink.
I have wanted to know this Tommy,
     Ever since your birth..
I asked you how much you loved me�
     But why did you answer:
          �Two-bits worth?�
