Loudon Wainwright III - Lullaby [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Shut up and go to bed
Put the pillow under your head
I'm sick and tired of all of your worries

Shut up and say goodnight
Say your prayers and turn out the lights
I'm sick and tired of all of your sob stories

Shut up and shut your eyes
No more histrionics, no more college tries
Stop pushing. Stop shoving. Stop straining

Shut your mouth and button your lip
You're a late night faucet that's got a drip
All your doing is mearly complaining

The excuse that you're crazy is useless
You're not biting, you're barking
You're toothless
But you're ruthless

Shut up and count some sheep
Do me a favor and don't bitch in your sleep
No more agony
Please, no more sorrow

Shut up and catch some ZZZs
Ice cream with a cherry plus a big pretty please
I promise we'll resume tomorrow
Good night
