Small boy lying in the sun
Small boy lying in the sun
No bucket or spade and no toy gun
Small boy lying in the sun
Small boy lying in the sun
No mother calling you
No brother chasing you for fun
Small boy lying in the sun
Small boy lying in the sand
No-one to hold you – hold your hand
Small boy lying in the sand
Small boy lying in the sand
Why are you here?
Why don’t you stand and run?
Small boy lying in the sand and sun
Blue shorts, red shirt
Tiny sandals on your tiny feet
Your hair is wet, your skin is chill
Small boy lying very still
Hold it! while we take a shot
Put it on every news broadcast slot
Small boy lying in the sun
Now the fairy tale is done.
