Regina Spektor - Mockingbird (Studio Demo)

Lyrics:
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
and if that mockingbird don't mock real well then
papa's gonna buy you a freedom bell
oh, and if that freedom bell don't ring
papa's gonna buy you a cubic zirconia ring
oh, and if that cubic zirconia ring don't shine
you're gonna give your papa a real hard time
now ain't you...?
and if that real hard time don't pass
papa's gonna get wrinkles all upon his face
and then he'll blend in with all the other papas then
screw the whole mockingbird situation, we can't even afford a medical plan
now can we...?
This song won't do, let's start this over...
Hush, little baby, here comes the sandman
papa's gonna buy you a medical plan
oh, and if that medical plan don't cover your ass
papa's gonna buy you a pregnancy test
oh, and if that pregnancy test comes out positive
well then, girl, I don't know how the hell we're gonna live
maybe on your bright ideas
maybe on cigarette butts
maybe on bubblegum wrappers
maybe on penalty shots
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
you know to you your papa would never ever lie
oh, hush while I sing to you this crude little lullaby
and I'll get you all that shit one day by and by
but in the meanwhile...
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
oh, and if that mockingbird don't sing
papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
a real diamond, no cubic nothing
like in the movies with that...what's her name...Monroe...Marilyn...

[@karahuchel5438]

gonna be honest this song gives me of mice and men vibes......,, like he was talking to the baby about all this stuff he couldnt do for her and then he starts promising all the good stuff and hes like i wouldnt ever lie to you and then the frantic hush hush hush makes it sound like hes suffocating the baby............maybe thats just me lol but thats how i interpreted it take it as u will

[@TheMaskedHentai]

[@CarleeD1000]

I read that as "I'm eating humans right now."

Her lips start changing colors. If you don't notice you don't have good eyes

I prefer Sofia Vergara´s version.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Doesn't sound like regina...

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Sounds like a mix of Martina McBride and Regina...
