Loudon Wainwright III
Lullaby (Live)
Shut up and go to bed
Put the pillow under your head
I'm sick and tired of all of your worries
Shut up and say goodnight
Say your prayers and turn out the light
I'm sick and tired of all of 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 your 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
Do me a favor don't bitch in your sleep
No more agony, please no more sorrow
Shut up and catch some Zzzs
Ice cream with a cherry plus a big pretty please
I promise we'll resume tomorrow
Good night
