Hush Little Baby...

Chris and I were singing (as good as our off-tune voice boxes would let us) to Emersyn on night and didn't really know the words to Hush Little Baby. I looked up the lyrics and thought someone had made them up.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns 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 fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in

So instead Chris and I made up our own words to the song:

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,

Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns blue

Daddy's gonna buy you a big canoe

And if that big canoe starts to sink

Daddy's gonna buy you a bike that is pink

And if that bike happens to get a flat

Daddy's gonna buy some skis that are fat

And if those skis don't go through the pow'

Daddy's gonna buy you a nice big cow

And if that cow makes nothing but pies,

Daddy's gonna have to sing you some more lullabies.

I do have to say that the whole part about the cow and pies came up because of the cows on my dad's ranch...it works.
