Here is the whole thing! Song for A Fifth Child by Ruth Hulbert Hamilton Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth, Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, Hang out the washing and butter the bread, Sew on a button and make up a bed. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? Shes up in the nursery, blissfully rocking. Oh, Ive grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo). Dishes are waiting and bills are past due (Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo). The shoppings not done and theres nothing for stew And out in the yard theres hullabaloo But Im playing Kanga and this is my Roo. Look! Arent her eyes the most wonderful hue? (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo). The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, But children grow up, as Ive learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. Im rocking my baby and babies dont keep.
