Lullabyes for Evil Overlords

I used to sing this to my daughter, when she was still too little to understand, and now for my infant son...

Lullabies for Evil Overlord
"Hush Small Descendant"
(to the tune of Hush Little Baby)

Hush small descendant, don't say a word
poppas going to buy you a mockingbird

and if that mockingbird don't sing
poppas going to buy you a diamond ring

and if that diamond ring don't shine
poppas going to buy you a diamond mine

and if that diamond mine don't produce
we'll hang all the mine slaves up with a noose

and if that makes them weep and pout
we'll flay their backs 'till their bones pop out

and if they still won't do what they should
we'll stack their corpses like kindling wood

and then we'll go get some new mine slaves
and make them work for all of their days

until you get the diamonds that shine
and then you'll be glad of poppa's old diamond mine

so hush
hush
hush
