Hush little baby, don't say a word papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird And if that mocking bird won't sing papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring is brass Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke papa's gonna buy you a billy goat And if that billy goat won't pull papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull and if that cart and bull turn over papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover And if that dog named Rover don't bark papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart And if that horse and cart fall down You'll still be sweetest little baby in town. mocking-bird = a bird which is able to imitate the songs of other birds |
