Northern eXposure - Shelly's Lullaby

from season 4 episode 25 "Old Tree"

Your Mama Can Only Sing

Chorus:
Oh, my little bunny face
My teeny beeny cuddly thing
I got a big bummer news
Your mama can't talk
Your mama can only sing

No fakin, No foolin
She flaps her lips and out comes croonin

Baby learns to use a spoon
Mama only sings a tune
Baby counts from 1 to 3
Mama makes a melody
If baby falls and bangs her knee
Sorry, here's a rhapsody

Can you love a mom who can't gab or chatter?
No yak or yammer, chew the fat
No jaw & jabber

Can you love a mom who doowops, scats
She warbles, yodels, spits the scales
She bops and raps

Chorus

Holling:
Shelly, honey, dry your eyes
Worry not, we'll harmonize
In my opinion talk comes cheap
Who needs to make a speech
Truth is, my lovely bride
Sing or talk, i'm by your side

Both:
Oh, my little bunny face
My teeny beeny cuddly thing
Don't you feel lonely, don't you feel blue
Cuz i'll be singin with you
No fakin no foolin
I'll be singin with you
