Inappropriate Lyrics

I truly thought I was pretty well versed in nursery rhymes and kiddie songs by this point. I mean, I literally fall asleep and wake up to lyrics of songs like, "Don't Bite Your Friends" and "The Poop Goes in the Potty". Somehow, I think they lack staying power (except in the darkest recesses of my brain, where I desperately want to tune them out). Catchy? Yes (unfortunately). True classics? Hell, no. Thankfully, when I was little, it was "You Are My Sunshine" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep." My mom and dad used to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to me just about every night while I was in the bathtub or right before bed. That was our song so it's always held a special place in my heart. Consequently, the first piece of artwork I bought for Milo's nursery in our new house was this:

I plan to buy the second part to that song and hang it at another spot in his room...

Such a simple, sweet little song. Melodically stable. Non-abrasive, calming and soothing. The perfect lullabye, really. So I thought that maybe I'd take it one step further and find prints for the rest of the lyrics, interspersing them throughout the room as a mini-theme for his nursery. But unbeknownst to me, there's a second (and third) verse to this old standby and after reading it, I realized perhaps there's a reason I never knew about it:

"The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried."

{Debbie Downer trombone sound effect here}

Yeah, that would make a great print to hang over his crib. On second thought, maybe a wall hanging of lyrics to "Poop Goes in the Potty" isn't so bad after all.
