CHINESE FOLK LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE TREE LEAVES ARE MURMURING HUA-LA-LA
Last Line: "AND ANY BOGIE-BOO THAT COMES, I'LL KNOCK HIM ON THE HEAD"

The tree leaves are murmuring hua-la-la,
Baby's very sleepy and wants his mama;
Go to sleep, my baby, and then go to bed,
And any bogie-boo that comes, I'll knock him on the head.
