Too ready his little girl you've gone so far
Keep begging, you're smiling, you're a movie star
Songs from the fifty's your mamma's used to sing
Oh, in the kitchen while she's making dinner for your family

Keep drinking babygirl, keep your head up high
Waiting for your mamma to sing lullabies
Well, daddy isn't here and mamma's smoking stacks
Oh, headaches from the smoke you smell ain't getting wrecked

Closer to encourage and I'll be awake
Sing yourself to sleep learn how to be afraid
All you have to start's always a rivalry
While your lungs are filled with all the smoke you breathe

(breathes)

Don't you worry now you sleep you little thing
Daddy will come back and therefore he will sing
Sing your precious lullaby to you he will
While mama smokes her cancer to the dawn still

Closer to encourage and I'll be awake
Sing yourself to sleep learn how to be afraid
All you have to start's always a rivalry
While your lungs are filled with all the smoke you breathe

Closer to encourage and I'll be awake
Sing yourself to sleep learn how to be afraid
All you have to start's always a rivalry
While your lungs are filled with all the smoke you breathe
