Lullaby a Bit Tongue In Cheek Though

Rock- a- by Baby don’t say a word,
Mummy wants a gin and not you to be heard.
You have been a little pain all day
Its time you went to bed out of the way.
The gin is dry I would like some ice.
And don’t forget the lemon, it makes it taste nice.
So little baby it's time you slept,
Cos mummies really tired, you can bet.
Don’t worry baby you are the love of my life,
But mummy is daddy’s very tired wife.
So we’ll get daddy to sing this song to you 
While I get another glass of gin or too.
Night night baby don’t say a word.
Its time to sleep my precious little humming bird

This one is so FUN. I don't drink, but it's the kind of lullaby close to what I'd have wanted to sing to MY two! Congrats on the HM. Very imaginative.
