Tim Minchin - Lullaby

Sleep little baby, sleep now my love

The milky ways shining high up above.

[G/f#]

When you grow up you will learn all that stuff

But for now close your eyes

Close your eyes

Sleep little baby try not to squawk.

Tomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to walk

[G/f#]

To love and laugh make toast and talk

But for now beddie byes

Your blankets hand knitted with pure angora wool

Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full

Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull

[G/f#]

Yet still all this gringe - ing

What more could you want for? I just can not guess

You constantly complain to me you should feel blessed

There are children in Africa starving to death

[G/f#]

And you dont hear them whinge - ing

What more can I do to put a stop to

This mind numbing noise you are making?

Where is the line between patting and hitting?

When is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?

I dont know what else I can do to try and hush you

My heart says I love you but my brains thinking fuck you

And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

At least then Id get a few hours in bed

Ive shushed and Ive cooed and Ive even tried to sing

Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo

Now all I have left is to hope, that a dingo

Will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head

Break

Oh hush little baby, dont say a word

Papas gonna buy you a mocking bird

In the hope youll get Avian Flu

The nice folk in A and E will take care of you

Break

Thats it close your eyes shhh not a sound

I can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down

One thing they dont mention in the parenting book

Your love for them grows the closer to death they look
