[Verse 1]
Little paws patter on the pillow by your ear
Tiny nose twitching, nothing here to fear
Round little helper, in a coat of brown and cream
He curls beside your heartbeat, and follows you to dreams
[Chorus]
(hm-hm-hm) goes the hamster
(squeak-squeak-soft) like a sleepy song
Round and warm, your bedtime dancer
Rolling through your dreams all night long
Close your eyes, let the world grow dim
You can fall asleep, he will carry you in
[Verse 2]
He’s nibbling on a sunflower, slow and sweet and small
Cheeks full of moonlight, he’s not scared at all
Wheel turns lazy, just a whisper in the night
He waddles to your blanket, and tucks you in just right
[Chorus]
(hm-hm-hm) goes the hamster
(squeak-squeak-soft) like a sleepy song
Round and warm, your bedtime dancer
Rolling through your dreams all night long
Close your eyes, let the world grow dim
You can drift away, he will carry you in
[Bridge]
[sound of soft rustling bedding, faint tiny squeaks]
He tiptoes through the clover in your mind
Leaves a trail of cozy stars behind
If a shadow makes you want to hide
He curls up like a comma by your side (so small)
[Verse 3]
Slow breathing rhythm, matching yours in time
Whiskers draw a circle, gentle as a rhyme
He builds a nest of cotton, clouds beneath your head
Then yawns a tiny yawn, and tucks himself to bed
[Chorus]
(hm-hm-hm) goes the hamster
(squeak-squeak-soft) like a sleepy song
Round and warm, your bedtime dancer
Rolling through your dreams all night long
Close your eyes, let the worries swim
You can float on him, he will carry you in
[Outro]
[sound of very soft wheel turning, almost like a lullaby rhythm]
Little paws slowing, little eyes closed tight
(soft squeak-squeak) “goodnight, goodnight”
Breathing like the ocean, gentle, deep, and slow
Drifting with your hamster, where the quiet rivers flow
