German Lullaby
Don't cry, little one
Hush, little baby, don't despair, Mama's gonna buy you a teddy bear.
If the teddy bear won't jump, don't you cry, Mama's gonna buy you a butterfly.
And when the butterfly flies too far ahead, Mama's gonna buy you a dress that's red.
And when that dress's too red, don't fear, Mama's gonna buy you a ship, my dear.
And when the ship gets much too wet, Mama's gonna buy the biggest fun you can get.
And if that biggest fun's too little fun, Mama's gonna buy you the shining sun.
And when that shining sun goes dark, Mama's gonna buy you a singing lark.
And when that little lark don't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a golden ring.
And when the ring you don't admire, Mama's gonna buy you the world entire.
And when the world's too big, don't flee, Mama'll buy a winning ticket from the lottery.
And when that ticket don't make you swoon, Mama's gonna buy you the silver moon.
And when the wind blows that moon away, You'll still be the sweetest child, every day.
Hush, little baby, don't despair, Mama's gonna buy you a teddy bear.
