Lullaby-Tim Minchin/The Heritage Orchestra

[00:17.26]Sleep, little baby, sleep now my love [00:24.47]The Milky Way's shining high up above [00:29.90]When you grow up, you will learn all that stuff [00:34.38]But for now, close your eyes [00:38.57]Close your eyes [00:41.00]Sleep, little baby, try not to squawk [00:48.43]Tomorrow and tomorrow you'll learn how to walk [00:53.61]To love and laugh, to ???? and talk [00:58.04]But for now, beddy-byes [01:03.78]Your blanket's hand-knitted with pure angora wool [01:09.52]Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full [01:15.10]Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull [01:20.44]Yet still all this gringing [01:25.76]What more could you want for? [01:28.46]I just cannot guess [01:31.35]You constantly complain to me; [01:34.03]you should feel blessed [01:36.53]There are children in Africa starving to death [01:41.56]And you don't hear them whinging [01:49.53]What more can I do to put a stop to [01:54.56]This mind-numbing noise you are making? [01:59.84]Where is the line between patting and hitting? [02:04.73]When is rocking "rocking" and when is it "shaking"? [02:12.00]I don't know what else I can do to try to hush you [02:16.88]My heart says "I love you", but my brain's saying "**** you" [02:21.92]And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you [02:26.58]At least then I'll get a few hours in bed [02:31.25]I've shushed and I've cooed and I've even try to sing [02:36.24]"Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" in the exact voice of Ringo [02:41.66]Now all I have left is to hope that a dingo [02:46.14]Will sneak in and rip off your fat ******** head [03:24.35]Hush little baby, don't say a word [03:29.18]Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird [03:32.66]In the hope you get avian flu [03:35.71]The nice folk in A&E will take care of you [04:17.99]That's it, close your eyes, shhh, not a sound [04:25.76]I can barely see your tiny chest moving up and down [04:31.10]One thing they don't mention in the parenting books: [04:37.43]Your love for them grows, the closer to dead they look
