lyrics

Hush Little Baby

Hush little baby, don’t say a word,
Mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mocking bird don’t sing,
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass
Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat

Interlude

And if that billy goat doesn’t pull (he’s so lazy)
Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull (called Daisy)
And if that cart and bull turns over (watch out!)
Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover (bow wow wow wow wow wow wow)

Interlude

And if that dog named Rover wont bark (he doesn’t bark)
Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart (oh what a lark)
And if that horse and cart falls down (oh gee!)
Well you’ll still be the sweetest baby in town (yippee)

Interlude

Hush little baby, don’t say a word,
Mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mocking bird don’t sing,
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
