The Worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan

This superb little gem from Cox and Box is really all fun and frolics. So if you want to hear it as a lovely sweet lullaby close your eyes and open them when the one-and-a-half minutes is over. But after that, join in the fun with Arthur and F C.

This song contains a double twist on the lullaby theme:

1. The subject matter - it really is a bit of nonsense isn't it?
2. It is sung by a male singer. Never mind this distinction ladies. Don't feel inhibited, have a go! 

"How sleepy I am, to be sure!" says Mr Box . . .

A Lullaby
(Brief and soothing intro)

Hush'd is the bacon on the grid,
I'll take a nap and close my eye,
Soon shall I be nodding, nodding nid,
Nid, nodding, nodding, nodding, nodding,
Sing--ing lullaby, 
Lullaby. . ., lullaby . . .,
Lu-la, Lu-la, Lu-la, Lu-la, lullaby . . .,
Hush-a-by bacon, on the coal top,
Till I awaken, there you will stop,
Hush-a-by bacon, on the coal top,
Lullaby . . ., Lullaby . . ., Lullaby . . .,
Lullaby . . ., Lullaby . . ..

Hope you enjoyed our arrangement of the song. Want to have another go? Go on then, feel free . . .
