Hush little babies, don't you cry
Merry-go-rounds and kites that fly
Little Boy Blue, blow your horn
God Bless the days that they were born
Mary had a little lamb
Or so the story goes
Three small children stuck at home
Stomping on my toes
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
No time for me to sit
Wash the dishes, scrub the floor
Sometimes I just want to quit
Three blind mice and all that jazz
What's a mom to do
Dress them up, load the car
And take them to the zoo
One two, buckle their shoes
As they head off to school
The house is much too quiet now
As they learn the golden rules
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
My how those boys eat
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
Frogs in their pockets and dirty feet
Hickory Dickory Dock
Can't we stop the clock
Slow time down, turn around
"Won't you hop in my lap and rock?"
Sing a song of sixpence
Enjoy them while you can
Before too long, you'll turn around
And they will be young men
Jack and Jill went up the hill
First loves and broken hearts
I dry my eyes and realize
That this is just the start
Hush now Mommy, don't you cry
Even though the time did fly
Leave them alone, they'll come home
By...and by...and by...
