tim minchin – lullaby

D A
sleep little baby , sleep now my love

G
the milky ways shining high up above .

G G/F# G/D D/A
when you grow up you will learn all that stuff

A
but for now close your eyes

aaug5
close your eyes

D A
sleep little baby try not to squawk .

G
tomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to walk

G G/F# G/D D/A
to love and laugh make toast and talk

A
but for now beddie byes

G Gm
your blankets hand knitted with pure angora wool

D
your nappy is dry and your tummy is full

A
of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull

G G/F# G/D Dsus2 D
yet still all this gringe – ing

D/E D/F# G Gm
what more could you want for? i just can not guess

D
you constantly complain to me you should feel blessed

A
there are children in africa starving to death

G G/F# G/D Dsus2 D
and you dont hear them whinge – ing

D D/F# D/G D/A D
what more can i do to put A stop to

A D
this mind numbing noise you are making?

F# Bm
where is the line between patting and hitting?

E A
when is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?

G Gm
i dont know what else i can do to try and hush you

D
my heart says i love you but my brains thinking fxxk you

A
and hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

G A A/D A/E D
at least then id get a few hours in bed

G Gm
ive shushed and ive cooed and ive even tried to sing

D
ob – la – di ob – la – da in the exact voice of ringo

A
now all i have left is to hope , that a dingo

G A D
will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head

[ break ]
D – A – D ( quick ) – F# – Bm – E – A

D A
oh hush little baby , dont say a word

G
papas gonna buy you a mocking bird

D
in the hope youll get avian flu

A D
the nice folk in a and E will take care of you

[ break ]

D – A – D ( quick ) F# – Bm – E – A

D
thats it close your eyes shhh not a sound

A D
i can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down

F# Bm
one thing they dont mention in the parenting book

E A D
your love for them grows the closer to death they look
