When all the folk are fast asleep,/And all the stars are out,/O that’s the time the Browniemen/Get up and work about./Tip toe! Tip toe!/Round the world they go,/Upstairs, downstairs,/Working to and fro;/Tip toe! Tip toe!/Doing all they ken,/Busy little downy brownie, downy Browniemen!/They polish all the pots and pans,/They sweep the dusty floors,/They clean the windows, wind the clocks,/And oil the creaking doors./Tip toe! Tip toe!/How they trot about,/Upstairs, downstairs, turning corners out./Tip toe! Tip toe!/Can’t you see them then?/Busy little downy brownie, downy Browniemen./But all you fine and lazy folk,/Remember, this is true,/The Brownies work for those who work,/And not for folk like you!/Tip toe! Tip toe!/Round the world they go,/Upstairs, downstairs, working to and fro./Tip toe! Tip toe!/Doing all they ken,/Busy little downy brownie, downy Browniemen! | |
