Royal Lullaby

Hushabye, little baby
Sleeping on the royal shoulder
You don't know it yet
But you're gonna get
A whole lot more attention when you're older

'Cause other babies who were born today
Will have to pave their way
And some will rise, and some will fall
But all you have to do
Is keep breathing, little darling
And one day, you'll rule us all

And it truly is a wonder
That a colony down under
Will be subject to your whims
We give thanks to DNA
For wisely showing us the way
And picking out our Queens and Kings

And Banjo Paterson wrote awesome songs
And got his portrait printed on our money
Based on merit
It's a pretty quaint idea
But you've got nothing to fear
'Cause there's a space on all our coins that you'll inherit

In many ways, we're just like you
The way we're suckling at the boob
Of the motherland that bore us
It's just that we're over eighteen
So it's a pretty creepy scene
And you'll be on your feet before us

So enjoy your childhood
I hope it's good and fun
And full of love and joy
Adventures great and small
And we'll be right here soiling our nappy as a nation
Until the day you rule us all
