Mockingbird

Hush, little baby, don't say a word

Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird don't mock real well, then

Papa's gonna buy you a freedom bell

Oh, and if that freedom bell don't ring

Papa's gonna buy you a cubic zirconia ring

Oh, and if that cubic zirconia ring don't shine

You're gonna give your papa a real hard time

Now ain't you?

Ain't you, baby, ain't you?



And if that real hard time don't pass

Papa's gonna get wrinkles all upon his face

And then he'll blend in with all the other papas then

Screw the whole mockingbird situation,

We can't even afford a medical plan

Now, can we?

Oh baby, now can we?



This song won't do, let's start this over...

Let's start this over



Hush, little baby, here comes the sandman

Papa's gonna buy you a medical plan

Oh, and if that medical plan don't cover your ass

Papa's gonna buy you a pregnancy test

Oh, and if that pregnancy test comes out positive

Well then, girl, I don't know how the hell we're gonna live

Maybe on your bright ideas

Maybe on cigarette butts

Maybe on bubblegum wrappers

Maybe on penalty shots



Hush, little baby, don't you cry

You know to you, your papa would never ever lie

Oh, hush while I sing to you this crude little lullaby

And I'll get you all that shit one day by and by

But in the meanwhile

Well in the mean, mean... meanwhile



Hush, little baby, don't say a word

Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

Oh, and if that mockingbird don't sing

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

A real diamond, no cubic nothing

Like in the movies with that...

What's her name... Monroe... Marilyn...

A real diamond, a real diamond...

Hush, hush...



Hush...
