BED TIME RHYME

HUSH LITTLE BABY DON'T SAY A WORD
MAMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A SINGING BIRD
AND IF THAT SINGING BIRD DON'T SING
MAMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DIAMOND RING
AND IF THAT DIAMOND RING DON'T SHINE
MAMA'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A SILVER DIME
AND IF THE SILVER DIME WON'T SPEND
MAMA'S GOING TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
