Lullaby of Thailand

A Traditional Lullaby of Thailand

Hush!

Who's that weeping

In the wind?

Wee-wee, wee-wee

A small mosquito

Mosquito, Mosquito

Don't come weeping

Can't you see that

Baby's sleeping?

Mosquito, Mosquito

Don't you cry

My baby's sleeping

Right nearby.

Hush!

Who's that peeping

From the ceiling?

Tuk - GHAA, Tuk GHAA!

A long-tailed lizard.

Lizard, Lizard,

Don't come peeping

Can't you see that

Baby's sleeping?

Lizard, lizard

Don't you cry

My baby's sleeping

Right nearby.

Hush

Who's that creeping

Under the house?

Meow, Meow

A lean black cat

Black cat, Black cat,

Don't come creeping

Can't you see that

Baby's sleeping?

Black cat, Black cat

Don't you cry

My baby's sleeping

Right nearby.

Hush

Who's that squeeking

By the rice barn?

Jeed - Jeed, Jeed - Jeed

A fat gray mouse.

Gray Mouse, Grey Mouse,

Don't come squeeking

Can't you see that

Baby's sleeping?

Gray Mouse, Gray Mouse,

Don't you cry

My baby's sleeping

Right nearby.
