Sidney's Song

Mama had a baby, and she laid him in his bed
But he couldn't sleep; no he wouldn't sleep

So she took out a diamond that would sparkle in the night
But it wouldn't shine; no it couldn't shine

Then she gave him a stuffie, so very soft so very fluffy
But he wouldn't cuddle, no he wouldn't calm down

Well diamond's ain't forever, turn your eyes to the sky
See the stars they shine, oh the stars they shine

And stuffies are static, in a box in the attic
But the birds, they fly; oh they move and glide

Well we need another plan, so she turned on the fan
Let the blades' roar, and he cried some more

So she took out the tablet, found a film about a rabbit
But the screen's so bright, and the battery died

Well the fan chops the air, and it rustles your hair
But the wind moves trees, oh it shakes the leaves

Well the movie tells a story, see the hero get the glory
But the birds and bees, show you how to be

Go to sleep little man, take a breath, hold my hand
Hear the ocean's roar, hear the waves on the shore

Close your eyes, take a breath, let your shoulders take a rest
Hear the birdies sing
And the wildflowers spring
Let the rivers ring
Hear the cricket's wings
And the firefly zing
And the raindrops ping
And the spiderwebs cling
And the jellyfish sting
And the waterfalls fling
And the moon–beam
And the frogs gallivanting
Oh the songs they bring
And the baby
Dreams
