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

Lyrics updated, ha! I'm going to have to memorize all the new lines. (She's 15 months old now, but damned if I'm not still singing her back to sleep at 2AM...)

No new lyrics to add...

Just wanted to thank you all for getting that song stuck in my head ALL MORNING.

That is all.

Jav's song or Metallica?

When I read the thread title, the first thing that popped into my head was Enter Sandman...

Take that unimog into terrain so rough, pack it up with all our stuff

If that Unimog won't climb, daddy's gonna buy you a 9-5-9.
If the 9-5-9 is fast, daddy's gonna buy a tank of gas.

They go through these phases..they'll be a time when they sleep all night, and you think you've finally got it licked. Then they have a growth spurt and start waking up hungry again.

You're a better car guy dad than I..my old standbys were "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead and "Alison" by Elvis Costello. I had a pretty good voice back then, nowadays every note that comes out of my mouth is flat.

When that 9-5-9 gets stolen, we'll import a hot rod Holden

drive it sitting on the right, squeal the tires in turns so tight

If that Holden feels too heavy, Daddy's gonna buy you something revvy
If your new Alfetta won't start, Daddy's gonna buy you a 500 Abarth [pronounced A-bart, right?]

When that Fiat needs a fix, Daddy's gonna find you a 3-2-6.

Well if you are singing it to your daughter I guess you want to avoid using STi!

I figured I'd dredge this back up to pay homage to the inspiration for how I help get my little girl to sleep multiple times a week. It was sung as a continual work in progress for a few months, back when she was just a few months old, and eventually I ended up with this. It's certainly not perfect, but at this point I've got it so memorized that I'm done trying to improve it or squeeze in more lines.

Hush little baby don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you a Thunderbird

And if that Thunderbird won't roar, daddy's gonna buy you a 944

And if that Porsche is too slow, daddy's gonna buy you a GTO

And if that Goat won't handle great, daddy's gonna buy you an RX8

And if those apex seals go bad, daddy's gonna buy you a vintage Nomad

And if that Chevy is too rare, daddy's gonna buy you an early Corvair

And if Ralph Nader's book's a drag, daddy's gonna buy you a V12 Jag

And if repairs cost mucho dinero, daddy's gonna buy you a Fiero

And if that Pontiac catches fire, daddy's gonna buy you a Spitfire

And if Lucas-electrics are no fun, daddy's gonna buy you a 911

And if that drips oil like a hog, daddy's gonna buy you a Unimog

And if that is not very pious, daddy's gonna buy you a plug-in Prius

And if that hybrid is too lame, daddy's gonna buy you a Ford Fairlane

And if that old boat will not start, daddy's gonna buy you a slant-six Dart

And if that Mopar doesn't feel alive, daddy's gonna buy you an MX5

And if that Miata is too small, daddy's gonna buy you a turbo Regal

And if too-much-boost makes the engine go bang, daddy's gonna buy you a Fox Mustang

And if that V8 is too loud, daddy's gonna buy you a Silver Cloud

And if that Rolls is not very light, daddy's gonna buy you a bug-eye Sprite

And if that Healey doesn't take you far, daddy's gonna buy you a TVR

And if that takes you for a spin, daddy's gonna buy you a Reliant Robin

And if that trike rolls right on over, daddy's gonna buy you a classic Range Rover

And if that is not off-road Heaven, daddy's gonna buy you a CJ7

And if that Jeep still kind of sucks, daddy's gonna buy you a Toyota Hilux

And since that will not ever die, thus is the end of this lullaby
