A darkly comic lullaby from a live concert where an adult performer subverts the classic "Hush little baby" with jokes about gin, accidental pregnancy, and struggling with responsibility, while a child's voice briefly interrupts. The song mixes tender soothing with brutal honesty about parenthood and personal demons.

Chapters

Hush little baby, there's no need to cry. Mommy is holding you tight. Look how the moon and the The stars in the sky are shining so brightly tonight. Dream of an angel who's tucking you in with sheets that are made out of silk while I dream of drinking a bottle of gin and mixing some in with you. Your milk. Hush now, my baby, the city's asleep. The hustle and bustle have stopped. You are an accident I chose to keep, but you're not too old to adopt. Dream of the mountains majestic and great and valleys so peaceful and still while I dream of not getting drunk on that date or at least not forgetting the pill.
Wah!
Honey, you're whining. Off-key. Well, somebody please murder me. Am I being punished for something I did? You've tortured me right from the start. My mother said I couldn't handle a kid. Damn it, that woman was smart. I love you with all of my heart.
