First chorus:
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall.
Second chorus:
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama's won’t let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you come in.
Mama will always find out where you’ve been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh babe,
You’ll always be baby to me.
