Hush little baby, don’t say a word,
mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don’t fly,
mama’s gonna bake you a Brussel sprout pie,
and if that pie crust doesn’t brown,
mama’s gonna buy you a circus clown,
and if that clown has got a knife,
mama’s gonna make you purple kite,
and if that kite gets tangled in the tree,
mama’s gonna buy you a wooden knee,
and if that wooden knee won’t bend,
mama’s gonna find you a golden hen,
and if that golden hen won’t lay,
mama’s gonna buy you a bale of hay,
and if that bale of hay’s too damp,
mama’s gonna buy you a lava lamp,
and if that lava lamp don’t shine,
mama’s gonna draw you a dotted line,
and if that dotted line’s too straight,
mama’s gonna keep you up too late
and if her lullaby goes all wrong,
mama’s gonna sing you a different song.
how fun!
Oh Ann, we giggled for an hour making up verses last night.
