The Lyrics Which I Don't Understand

1. Rock a bye baby (aka Hush A bye baby)

Rock a bye baby on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

This nursery rhyme should be re-examined by the Hall of Baby Songwriters. The title of the song is already murderous. You rock the baby and then it's bye bye after that! If I am the baby, I will be turning white and shitting in my diapers the moment someone sings this to me. And who in the right mind would put the baby on a treetop??!!!


2. Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and days of auld lang syne.
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne.

We all sing this song on New Year's eve. I sang this at the end of every school campfire. If you look at the lyrics carefully, it is actually a "I Hate You" song. I think Auld Lang Syne is Scottish and I don't know what it means, but the first two lines translates to, " I regretted meeting you, and I will try and forget you as soon as poosible. Please get out of my sight, and I hope we will never cross path again, dear. "
