DMC: "Hush, Little Martian" by Carrie Clickard

Based on the traditional lullaby, "Hush, Little Baby." 


Hush, little Martian, don't flap a wing,
Mama's gonna give you a radar ring.

And if that ring won't work in fog,
Papa's gonna buy you an android dog.

And if that android dog won't bark,
Mama's got a pass for the Milky Way park.

And if the Milky Way runs dry,
Papa's gonna build you a saucer to fly.

And if that saucer hits the sun,
Mama's gonna buy you a laser gun.

And if that laser never shoots,
Papa's gonna buy you some rocket boots.

And if those boots won't reach a star,
We'll stop by Earth and buy a car.
