Rockabilly Lullaby
Rockabilly Lullaby: Embracing Peaceful Slumber
Lyrics
Rest my little darlin', you've had a busy day
Encouragement for rest after a busy day
The sun is a fallin', and it's time for me to say, hush
Indication of evening time, signaling the need for sleep
Hush
Reinforcement of the need for quietness and calm
Hush little mermaid, goodnight
Affectionate address to the mermaid, wishing her a goodnight
Hush
Reiteration of the need for quietness and calm
Hush little mermaid, sleep tight
Reaffirmation of the wish for the mermaid to sleep peacefully
Close your eyes, close your eyes and lay down your head
Instruction to close the eyes and prepare for sleep
In your peaceful ocean bed, have a snooze, please, like I said
Encouragement to relax and rest in a peaceful manner
And hush
Continued emphasis on quietness and calmness for sleep
Hush
Reiteration of the need for quietness and calmness
Hush little mermaid, goodnight, hush little mermaid, sleep tight
Repeated wishes for a good night's sleep for the mermaid
You're feeling kind of sleepy
Recognition of sleepiness
You're feeling kind of loopy
Recognition of feeling drowsy and disoriented
Your fins are getting floppy
Imagery of physical tiredness (fins becoming weak)
And your eyelids getting droopy
Describing the onset of sleep with drooping eyelids
May your dreams be sweet as you fall into a snooze
Wishing sweet dreams as the mermaid falls asleep
Perhaps again we'll meet but now we have to cruise, so hush
Hinting at a future meeting but emphasizing the need for sleep now
Hush
Reiteration of the need for quietness and calmness
Hush, little mermaid, goodnight
Wishing the mermaid goodnight
Hush
Reiteration of the need for quietness and calmness
Hush little mermaid, sleep tight, hush, hush little mermaid, goodnight
Repeated wishes for a good night's sleep for the mermaid
Hush little mermaid, hush little mermaid, goodnight
Final reassurance for the mermaid to sleep peacefully
