Tim Minchin - Lullaby
Sleep little baby, sleep now my love
The milky ways shining high up above.
[G/f#]
When you grow up you will learn all that stuff
But for now close your eyes
Close your eyes
Sleep little baby try not to squawk.
Tomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to walk
[G/f#]
To love and laugh make toast and talk
But for now beddie byes
Your blankets hand knitted with pure angora wool
Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full
Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull
[G/f#]
Yet still all this gringe - ing
What more could you want for? I just can not guess
You constantly complain to me you should feel blessed
There are children in Africa starving to death
[G/f#]
And you dont hear them whinge - ing
What more can I do to put a stop to
This mind numbing noise you are making?
Where is the line between patting and hitting?
When is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?
I dont know what else I can do to try and hush you
My heart says I love you but my brains thinking fuck you
And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you
At least then Id get a few hours in bed
Ive shushed and Ive cooed and Ive even tried to sing
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo
Now all I have left is to hope, that a dingo
Will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head
Break
Oh hush little baby, dont say a word
Papas gonna buy you a mocking bird
In the hope youll get Avian Flu
The nice folk in A and E will take care of you
Break
Thats it close your eyes shhh not a sound
I can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down
One thing they dont mention in the parenting book
Your love for them grows the closer to death they look
