Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mocking bird don’t sing,
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat don’t pull,
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark.
Papa’s gonna to buy you and horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
