Subject: Lyr Add: LULLABY FOR A BREASTFED BABY
This is my own, from 27 years ago, one of the three most successful songs I ever wrote--not commercially, but in achieving the effect I wanted. The tune is (though I say so, that shouldn't) a haunting one. If you like the words, contact me and I'll send you a tape. Or sing it to you on Paltalk. Or both.

Of course, substitute "girl" for "boy" as may be indicated.

LULLABY FOR A BREASTFED BABY"

Go to sleep, my little boy
Dream about a milk-filled booby!
Mama nurse you in a while
When your time has come.

When your time has come, my boy
Mama milk there'll be in plenty!
When your mama has let down
And nursin' time has come.

When nursin' time has come, my boy
Mama milk will fill your tummy!
With the nipple in your mouth
You'll never need your thumb!
