Hush, little baby, don't you cry; 
Papa's gonna sing you a lullaby. 

Hush, little baby, don't say a word; 
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird. 

If that mockingbird won't sing, 
Papa's gonna buy you a golden ring. 

If that gold ring turns to brass, 
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass. 

If that glass begins to crack, 
Papa's gonna buy you a jumping jack. 

If that jumping jack is broke, 
Papa's gonna buy you a velvet cloak. 

If that velvet cloth is coarse, 
Papa's gonna buy you a rocking horse. 

If that rocking horse won't rock, 
Papa's gonna buy you a cuckoo clock. 

If that cuckoo clock won't tick, 
Papa's gonna buy you a walking stick. 

If that walking stick falls down, 
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town!
