Lullaby, lullabies,
Why do they sound oh so sad?
Often sound oh so very sad?
Lullaby, lullabies,
Swing soft hearts gently to sleep,
Travel way far in time,
To countries where tired ones can fly ever free.
Ancient songs are hummed to kids
In some forgotten language.
Some are scary tales of the devil,
Hush child, be still.
Lullaby, lullabies,
Sing them when the darkness comes,
Sing the devil away,
Sing him to sleep like wild children do too.
Children of the forest know well they should always remain mute.
Yes, children of the forest mustn’t make a noise.
For if the devil comes,
He will bite the children’s toes and fingers,
Children of the forest mustn’t make a noise.
Lullaby, lullabies
Why do they sound oh so sad?
Often sound oh so sad?
Sound a little scary and mad too.
