Little Riley

Anything But Bland

 

Hush, little Riley, don't say a word

Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

If that mockingbird don't sing

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

If that diamond ring turns brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

If that looking glass gets broke

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

If that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

If that cart and bull turn over,

Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

If that dog named Rover won't bark,

Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little Riley in town.
