Hush little baby don't you cry
Pappa's gonna fix you an alibi
And if that alibi breaks down
Pappa's gonna slip you out of town.

And if they find your hiding place
Pappa's gonna buy you a brand new face
And if that face is not enough
Pappa's gonna threaten to call their bluff.

And if they still come after you
Pappa's gonna beat them black and blue
And if persuading them should fail
Pappa's gonna throw them into jail.

And if they say that that's not fair
Pappa's gonna chuck them down the stair
And if they should survive that ride
Pappa's will assist their suicide.

So hush little baby don't say a thing
Pappa makes sure that you don't sing
And if you sing a single note
Pappa's gonna grab you by the throat.

And if you don't co-operate
Pappa's got a gun to seal your fate
So hush little baby, act like a man
And Pappa's gonna give you a pension plan.

And if that pension plan goes sour
Pappa's gonna pay you by the hour
And if that offer seems too small
Pappa could electrify your wall.

Now hush little baby, don't you weep
Pappa's gonna watch you in your sleep.
When you get up and wash your face
Pappa's gonna give you a big embrace.
