"Put Little Girl To Sleep"

The last time I put my baby to sleep was about 7 or 9 years ago.

Our "Official Lullaby" is a soft hum of "Atin Ku Pung Singsing".

My DS would play with his tiny ear while sucking his bottle of milk.

About 4 or 5 hours of sleep, DS wakes up and it's hum time again!

It's all over the news last night. Oplan "Put Little Girl to Sleep".

What were they thinking!

My personal opinion: I don't think the current administration would be capable of a ploy to "put someone to sleep".

Ironically, I don't think that the little girl may be able to "sleep" amidst the flood of hauntings. 

Halata namang OA(Obviously Acting) lang ang threat!

Anyway, I love this lullaby.(Lyrics from www.babycentre.co.uk) 

Hush,little baby, don't say a word.

Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won't sing,

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you a cart and a bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,

Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,

Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,

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

Just for fun, my version below:

Hush little woman, just lie down,

Cohorts will get you your own little crown.

And if that crown does not sparkle,

Cohorts will get you your own title.

And if that title gets revoked,

Cohorts are ready to get you the votes.

And if all the votes get nullified,

Cohorts will ensure all PCOS get fried.

And if PCOS machines won't catch fire,

Cohorts will make the courts certify.

And if the courts refuse to sign,

Cohorts with doctors will assess your mind.

And if all the doctors will say "no",

Cohorts will prepare a special cell for you.

And if finally you're in your cell,

You'll be the first little girl in jail.

I recall that the melody was even used before by Chowking in one of its ads- years ago.
A long-haired guy singing while playing guitar.

"Nanay, Nanay don't you cry,
Sa allowance ko pwede pang mabuhay.
Dito sa Chowking may meals tag-29,
Ang pancit 25 pesos lang.
Chicharap 14.50,
Halo-halo 25 only."

Hahaha! I forgot the rest of course. Twas the 90's.
