"Hush, Little Baby..."

After an...interesting conversation with Daniel in the car about how to shoot a bird and how he is a man and can go duck hunting, I wrote this song during Heidi's colic time tonight.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,

Daniel's gonna shoot you a mockingbird.

And since that mockingbird can't sing,

Fiona's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

But since Fiona has no money,

Evie's gonna tend you a hive with honey.

But since that hive with honey has no bees,

Daddy's gonna plant you some baby trees.

And while those baby trees grow taller,

Ian's gonna tie Jack a brand-new collar.

While he ties the day grows dark and then

Shane'll tell us all 'about the Mako Shark.

When that story makes you cry,

You'll turn and see that Lula drank your bottle dry.

If Mama sees the chaos and it makes her frown,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
