Hush Little Baby With FAS
All this crying gives Mama stress
And if that stress gets really bad
Mama’s gonna find you a brand new dad
And if that new dad doesn’t stick around
Mama’s gonna find you a nice playground
And if those kids won’t let you play
Mama’s gonna take you down the alley way
And if that alley way has drugs
Mama’s gonna make friends with some thugs
And if those thugs give me a drink
Mama’s gonna not be able to think
And if your Mama cannot think straight
Mama’s gonna make a big mistake
And if that goes against the law
Mama’s gonna hide out with your Pa
And if your Pa hurts one of us
Mama’s gonna take us to a halfway house
And when that halfway house time is up
Mama will still not be grown up
And if Mama can’t grow up very well
Our lives will be hard as hell
And if Mama can’t cope with the stress
Someone’s gonna call up CPS
And if they take you away from me
Mama’s gonna feel so sad and lonely
But Mama won’t be alone for long
There’s a new little baby and the same sad song
