Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE EFEFAGAH I IAJAJ KLKLMCMC| JUST at the edge of the night and the morning | A |
| Little Miss Six O'clock comes to my bed | B |
| A sweet little laugh is her musical warning | A |
| That day time is here and the night time is fled | B |
| And I am so sleepy and I am so weary | C |
| I want to doze on for an hour or two more | D |
| But Little Miss Six O'clock bright eyed and cheery | C |
| Has come to announce that the sleep time is o'er | E |
| - | |
| Little Miss Six O'clock that's what I call her | E |
| As brim full of fun as a rose is of dew | F |
| And as sweet as a rose only plumper and taller | E |
| Comes to announce that the night time is through | F |
| Smiles that are brighter than May sunbeams dancing | A |
| Already out there on the velvety lawn | G |
| Over the counterpane bounding and prancing | A |
| Little Miss Six O'clock heralds the morn | H |
| - | |
| 'Wake up lazy daddy wake up it is day time ' | - |
| She shouts in my ear as she tickles my nose | I |
| 'Wake up lazy daddy it's morning and play time ' | - |
| Then she tickles my ribs with her little pink toes | I |
| For a minute or more I pretend to be sleeping | A |
| Till over her face comes the trace of a pout | J |
| And Little Miss Six O'clock shows signs of weeping | A |
| Then 'O my goodness is that you ' I shout | J |
| - | |
| We bounce and we roll and bump and jump | K |
| And under the covers I hide away | L |
| And I pretend I 'm an old tree stump | K |
| Out in the woods where the fairies play | L |
| I've forgotten that I was a tired old dad | M |
| Who wanted to sleep and I 'm trouble free | C |
| And every morning my heart is glad | M |
| When Little Miss Six O'clock comes to me | C |
