C C                                G G
Sleep little baby, sleep now my love

F F
The milky way's shining high up above.

F F F/E F/E F/C F/C C/G C/G
When you grow up you will learn all that stuff

G G
But for now close your eyes

Aaug5 Aaug5
Close your eyes


C C G G
Sleep little baby try not to squawk

F F
Tomorrow and tomorrow you'll learn how to walk

F F F/E F/E F/C F/C C/G C/G
To love and laugh, to totter and talk

G G
But for now beddie byes


F F Fm Fm
Your blanket's hand knitted with pure angora wool

C C
Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full

G G
Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull

F F F/E F/E F/C F/C Csus2 Csus2 C C
Yet still all this gringing


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

C C
You constantly complain to me you should feel blessed

G G
There are children in Africa starving to death

F F F/E F/E F/C F/C Csus2 Csus2 C C
And you don't hear them whinging


C C C/E C/E C/F C/F C/G C/G C C
What more can I do to put a stop to

G G C C
This mind numbing noise you are making?

E E Am Am
Where is the line between patting and hitting?

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


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

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

G G
And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

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


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

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

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

F F G G C C
Will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head


[Break]
C C - G G - C C - E E - Am Am - D D - G G


C C G G
Oh hush little baby, don't say a word

F F
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird

C C
In the hope you'll get Avian Flu

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


[Break]

C C - G G - C C - E E - Am Am - D D - G G

C C - G G - C C - E E - Am Am - D D - G G


C C
That's it, close your eyes, shhh not a sound

G G C C
I can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down

E E Am Am
One thing they don't mention in the parenting book

D D G G C C
Your love for them grows the closer to dead they look
