Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking -glass.
And if that looking -glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy -goat.
And if that billy -goat don't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a card and bowl.
And if that cart and ball tips over,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart falls down,
You'll still be the sweetest
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't poke,
Mama's gonna buy you a cardamom.
And if that cart and bull tips over,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down,
you'll still be the sweetest
You'll still be the sweetest little baby
You'll still be the sweetest
