Rock-a-bye, baby,
In the tree top:
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall;
Down will come baby,
Cradle and all.


My thing is: why would we ever sing this to our babies? Sounds like child abuse putting the baby in the top on a tree and letting them fall with the cradle. What kind of message are sending these kids?

GOSH, YO - YOU DON'T KNOW ALL THE VERSES, YO! IT GETS WORSE!

She went to the baker's
To buy him some bread;
When she came back
The dog was dead!

She went to the undertaker's
To buy him a coffin;
When she came back
The dog was laughing.

She took a clean dish
to get him some tripe;
When she came back
He was smoking his pipe.

I MEAN, GOSH, QUITE APART FROM THE DOG DYING AND THEN LAUGHING AND THEN SMOKING, THERE IS THE WHOLE FACT OF PUTTING TRIPE INTO A CHILDREN'S RHYME! ;D

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,
"Are the children in their beds, for now it's eight o'clock?"



So, it was okay for perverts to roam the cities at night? hahaha

Now who in their right mind names their child Wee Willie Winkie and expects them to grow up inot a respectable person?
