cosywolf   10 #13 Posted October 10, 2006 We have a family lullaby that goes back and back, and when I sing it, I am taken right back to being curled up in my Mum's lap while she rocked in the rocking chair and sang to me. And just knowing that she sang it to me, my grandmother sang it to my father, etc, makes it even more special to me...  That tiny turned up nose two cheeks just like a rose so sweet from head to toes that little boy (girl) of mine  He climbs up on my knee he means the world to me to me he'll always be that little boy (girl) of mine  No-one will ever know just what his coming has meant he must have been heaven sent because I love him so that little boy of mine  As for Farmman, he sings 'It's the end of the world as we know it' to the boy, and always has since the first night we brought him home from hospital and he realised nothing was ever going to be the same again, lol.  another one I sing is  Who's got a button nose ten little tiny toes and a sticky out ear who's got the sweetest smile in the world and a face that's oh so dear  (kind of to the tune of waltzing matilda.

medusa   16 #15 Posted October 10, 2006 My lullaby and rocking song with niecelet isn't really a lullaby- it's 'Prayer to St Valentine' which is a love song instead (as recorded by Sweetmouth).  Most things that are familiar and comforting work as lullabies- I don't think the words matter much (although I had to stop singing 'Don't get married' because there's a verse about strippers- just to be on the safe side!).

Tricky   10 #16 Posted October 10, 2006 My son has always been comforted by 'Rock-a-bye baby' which is strange given the lyrics.  The best song for cheering up a grumpy baby has been the theme from Rainbow:  Up above the streets and houses, rainbow climbing high, Everyone can see it smiling over the sky. Paint the whole world with a rainbow.  All along the streams and rivers, shining in the lakes, See the colours of the rainbow as the morning breaks. Paint the whole world with a rainbow.  doo doo doo do-doo doo doo doo do-doo etc  always guarantees a smiley baby in our house.
