My Sweet Baby

My sweet baby please don’t cry
You’ll be safe and warm all through the night

Let magic dreams fill up your head
Cuddle up in your soft little bed

In enchanted kingdoms sail your dreams
On a paper ship on sherbet streams

On the orange river as it ebbs and flows
Sail on gentile waves past blue plateaus

Lemon like sun in the midday sky
Singing over your head parrots fly

Ride your ship till it comes to rest
Along a gumdrop shore travel west

Climb up the bank where the grass grows green
Summer rays light the meadow scene

With Gnomes and Pixies you dance and play
Under the warm summer sun all day

With Pixie dust all over your head
You fly back home to your own warm bed
