Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day
My grandmother used to sing a rendition:
Little girl you're crying
I know why you're blue
Someone took your kiddy car away
Better go to sleep now
Little girl
Yu've nada busy day

Johnny took your marbles, tell you what we'll do,
Mom'll get you new ones right away
Better go to sleep now
Little girl
Yu'vehad a busy day

You've been playing mommy
But now your day is through
Your babies are all fast asleep.
Dishes are all done now
The household work is done,
Play now in dreamtime little one

Better go to sleep now, little girl,
You've had a busy day.

She used to sing me to sleep with it every night when I was young after my parents got divorced and my mom, brother and I moved back in with her. Now if I can't sleep , I sing it to myself, and eventually, I'll sing it to my own kids(:
