This Dave who
During the day is really,
Really, really brave.
But during the night, when there is no light,
Dave is not brave, he takes fright.
Each noise he hears, increases his fear.
Every bump, every thump,
Makes his poor heart jump!
He sucks his thumb, he calls for his mum
He can’t wait for the morning to come.
So if you need a brave job done,
Call Dave in the day…
But at night, call his mum.
