Hush, little baby, don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby.
And to help give mom a lift
Dada’s gonna take the late night shift.
And although it isn’t fair
your sister’s gonna have to learn to share.
And before he’s at your door
your uncle swears he won’t smoke anymore.
And 'cause stories will help you sleep
soon your grandma will learn to read.
And to keep the harm away
the doctor’s gonna work hard night and day.
And when in your line of sight
enemies will choose to end the fight.
And though he’s got no time to spare
the stranger’s gonna help you climb each stair.
And in case you’re feeling down
today the businessman will be your clown.
Drivers will slow down for you
pets are gonna be extra careful, too.
Guards will try to make you laugh
workers will pause on your behalf.
And though it seems it’s almost done
this lullaby for you has just begun.
Hush, hush now, you know it’s true
there is nothing we wouldn’t do.
