Close your eyes

Your blanket's hand knitted with pure angora wool

       C                                           
Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full

     G                                 
Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull

Yet still all   this gringing


C/D  C/E  F                                  Fm
What more could you want for? I just can not guess

There are children in Africa starving to death

And you don't hear them whinging

What more can I do to put   a   stop to

      G                           C
This mind numbing noise you are making?

 E                         Am
Where is the line between patting and hitting?

 D                           G
When is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?


   F                                       Fm
I don't know what else I can do to try and hush you

    C                                              
My heart says I love you but my brain's thinking fuck you

      G
And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

    F                      G  G/C  G/D   C
At least then I'd get a few hours   in    bed


      F                                         Fm
I've shushed and I've cooed and I've even tried to sing

Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo
 
     G
Now all I have left is to hope that a dingo

Will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head

Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird

                             C
In the hope you'll get Avian Flu 

     G                                      C
