Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
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
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't moan
I was gonna buy you a cart and bone
If that cart and bull turn over
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover don't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down,
you'll still be the sweetest
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull
Mama's gonna buy you a carton bull
If that carton bull turned over
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover don't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest
If that war zone could fall down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
