My dad would sing his version to me every night, this is it: Hush little baby don't say a word Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird don't sing Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring If that diamond ring is glass Daddy's going to buy you a looking-glass And if that looking glass should crack Daddy's gonna buy you a jumping jack And if that jumping jack won't hop Daddy's going to buy you a lollipop And when that lollipop is gone Daddy's going to buy you another one And if that lollipop is all eaten up Daddy's going to buy you a real live pup And if that real live pup won't bark Daddy's going to buy you a horse and cart And if that horse and cart should fall down You're still the prettiest girl around
