Lullaby for Baxter

from Seriously​?​! by Grant Sharkey

/

about

Lots of my friends have been busy having babies. I wondered how hard it would be to write a lullaby in the 21st Century. All babies are being born under the watch of a space station in orbit - that's quite a defining thing for this generation.

lyrics

The guys in the Space Station are singing a song, that goes "It's nice to be up here above the left, right and wrong. And we'll whisper it quietly when we pass over head so we don't wake you up down there sleeping in bed.

"Your mum and your dad were talking last night,
And promised each other that they'll do what's right,
To make you good strong and happy on the station some day,
and when you pass over head, we'll wave."

Up in the space station singing your song, that goes: "It's nice to be up here with my dad and my mum. If we get sleepy we'll smile and we'll yawn and we'll orbit again until dawn."

If we get sleep we'll smile and we'll yawn and we'll orbit again until dawn.
