Hush Little Baby
Saturday, May 15, 2004
Listen

Hush little baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make you some rhubarb pie
And if that rhubarb pie's too sour
Mama's gonna buy you a wildflower
And when that wildflower wilts
Mama's gonna buy you a pair of stilts
And if that pair of stilts aren't steady
Mama's gonna buy you a bowl of spaghetti

And if that spaghetti is not al dente
Mama's gonna buy you a horn of plenty
And if that horn doesn't have the right fruit
Mama's gonna buy you a two-piece suit
And if that suit's not the right material
Mama's gonna buy you a bowl of cereal
And if that cereal is not low-carb
Mama's gonna make you more rhubarb
So hush little baby and don't you moan,
It's been thirty years of A Prairie Home.
