Two little boys laid in their bunk beds,
A thousand thoughts running through their heads.
Two little boys up to mischief,
Chatting away when they should be asleep!
In the darkness of the night
A different world comes to life.
The boy who couldn't sleep, and his little brother,
Always egging on one another.
Life is never dull when they play,
Their imaginations run away!
