Lullaby (Album Version)

Lullaby (Album Version) - Loudon Wainwright III

Shut up and go to bed

Put the pillow under your head

I'm sick and tired of all your worries

Shut up and say goodnight

Say your prayers and turn off the light

I'm sick and tired of all your sob-stories

Shut up and shut your eyes

No more histrionics no more college tries

Stop pushing stop shoving stop straining

Shut your mouth and button your lip

You're a late night faucet that's got a drip

All you're doing is merely complaining

The excuse that you're crazy is useless

You're not biting you're barking you're toothless

But you're ruthless

Shut up and count some sheep

And do me a favour don't bith in your sleep

No more agony please no more sorrow

Shut up and catch some Z's

Ice cream with a cherry plus big pretty please

I promise we'll resume tomorrow
