Rock-a-bye baby,
In the tree top.
Someone should arrest
Your mom and your pop.
Putting a baby
Up in a tree
Doesn’t sound right
Or real safe to me.

I have ALWAYS felt the same way. I sang this to my babies when I rocked them to sleep and it always calmed them, but... what a bizarre thing to tell a kid.
