Could someone sing me a lullaby?

Asked by Nimis (13260points) August 17th, 2011

It’s 3:40AM and I can’t fall asleep.
Could someone sing me a lullaby?

You know the one that goes like this:
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Momma’s gonna buy you a mockingbird,

If that mockingbird don’t sing,
Momma’s gonna buy you a diamond ring,

If that diamond ring don’t shine,
Momma’s gonna…make up some silly line…

If that line don’t make no sense,
Momma’s gonna buy you a chain link fence…

If that diamond ring don’t shine,
Momma’s gonna feed you to Frankinstein.

If that chainlink fence don’t hold,
Momma’s gonna buy you some sneakers—gold!

If you get mugged and they take your shoes,
Momma’s gonna buy you some cheap ol’ booze…

That’s not me scratching underneath your bed though now is it?
Don’t pretend you can’t hear it, either check it out or run away screaming XD

Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
Your sheets will no longer be clean,
For here comes the butcher to chop off your head.

The sandman laughs something mean, everything is red, oh happy Halloween!
