Yeah, we all know that song (or at least I do). I was noticing the version I know doesn't exactly rhyme, so I inserted a couple lines. The one I sing to my son goes like this:
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird
If that mocking bird don't sing
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass
Daddy's gonna buy you a lookin' glass
If that lookin' glass gets broke
Daddy's gonna buy you a can of Coke
If that can of Coke goes flat
Daddy's gonna buy you a kitty cat
If that cat doesn't clean its coat
Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull
Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over
Daddy's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover don't bark
Daddy's gonna buy you a wooden ark
If that ark won't go too far
Daddy's gonna buy you a candy bar
If that candy bar is tart
Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart break down
You'll still be the cutest little baby in town
The new things I added are bolded to make it rhyme better. Any thoughts? I'm not a huge fan of the soda and candy, but hey, it rhymes.
