Lyrics
Hush little baby, don't say a word, papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird and if that mocking bird don't sing, papa's gonna buy a diamond sing.
If that diamond ring is brass papa's gonna buy a looking glass,and if that cooking glass should crack,papa's gonna buy you a jumping jack.
If that jumping jack won't hop, papa's gonna buy you a lollipop. when that lollipop is done, papa's gonna buy you another one.
If that lollipop's all eaten up,papa's gonna buy a real live pup, if that puppy dog won't bark, papa's gonna buy a meadow lark.
Hush little baby don't say a word, papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird, if that mocking bird don't sing papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring is glass, papa's gonna buy you a cup of brass, and from that cup you'll drink your milk and papa's gonna dress you in the finest silk.
yes papa's gonna dress you in the finest silk, and mama's gonna raise you with honey and milk, so hush little baby sleep safe and sound, your still the sweetest little babe in town.
