Dutch Lullaby

Shush-a, shush-a
mijn klein kind
Mills-a, mills-a
grind the wind.

Snooze-a, snooze-a
in The Hague.
Full-a, dikes-a,
like a plague.

Bears-a, Bears-a,
in Artis Zoo --
Snakes-a, Wolves-a
and tulips too.

Dream-a Dream-a
silver skates,
Paint-a, Paint-a
Delft blue plates.

Sing-a, song-a
Erasmus, do.
Microbe, Microbe
Van Leeuwen-who?

Op'r-a, op'r-a
Listen now:
in-the fine-a
Concertbegouw.

Holl-a, Holl-a
Van Gogh's skies
are-a, filled-a
with starry eyes.

So, shush-a, shush-a
mijn klein kind,
while mills-a, mills-a
grind the wind.
