HUSH, LITTLE BABY

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

If that mockingbird don't sing, Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's going to buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke, Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.
