Hush Little Sibling

Go to sleep, my little one, you're passing through a stage

Not at all uncommon at your age

These are traumatic days in oh-so-many ways

Each new taboo comes to you as a shock

But rest secure in your little crib

Oh, rest secure, forget each little block

'Cause daddy is reading Freud and Gesell

While mommy reads Adler and Spock

Hush, little sibling, don't you cry

You'll be adjusted by and by

I recognize that fretful look

Mommy's gonna try another book

Hush, little sibling, don't you cry

You'll be adjusted by and by

Hush, little sibling, close your eyes

Mommy will have you analyzed

Daddy found something very new

We're gonna try it out on you

Hush, little sibling, close your eyes

Mommy will have you analyzed

Hush, little sibling, don't you cry

You'll be adjusted by and by

You're not returning to the womb

We've bought a mobile for your room

Hush, little sibling, don't you cry

You'll be adjusted by and by
