The Drunken Baby’s Lullaby

The Drunken Baby’s Lullaby

TTTO Mockingbird/Hush Little Baby (trad)
Lyrics by Rob Wynne & TJ Burnside Clapp
2016

 
Hush little baby, don’t you fear
Mama’s gonna buy you a nice cold beer
And if that beer don’t taste so fine
Mama’s gonna pour you a glass of wine
 
And if that wine’s a bit too dry
Mama’s gonna mix you a tall Mai Tai
And if that Mai Tai mix runs out
Mama’s gonna bring you a Guinness Stout
 
And if that Stout should make you fret
Mama’s gonna make you a gin gimlet
And if that gimlet glass gets broke
Mama’s gonna mix you a rum and coke
 
And if that rum and coke lacks power
Mama’s gonna bring you a whiskey sour
And if that whiskey sour’s too sweet
Mama’s gonna pour you a bourbon, neat
 
And if that bourbon makes you wail
Mama’s gonna mix you a rusty nail
And if you still won’t sleep after all of these
Someone mix mama up a double, please!
 
This was a lovely bit of comment improv between TJ and myself, prompted by a photo her husband Mitchell posted on her FB wall back in 2016:
 
 

I started it off, and we just traded back and forth until there was a whole song. 

This song pairs well with “Don’t Cry, My Dear, Have a Cracker”.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets

Good morning!

Good morning!

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets

Good morning!

Good morning!

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets

Good morning!

Good morning!

Goodnight, internets

Goodnight, internets
