Hush, little baby.
Don¹t say a word.
Mama¹s going to buy you
a mocking bird.
(Operation MOCKINGBIRD-The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA)

And if that mocking bird won¹t sing,
Mama¹s going to buy you
a diamond ring.
(Operation Diamond Ring – control of Liberian diamond mines)

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama¹s going to buy you
a looking glass.
(Doomsday Jet (Operation Looking Glass) - The mission began on 3 February 1961…From that date, a Looking Glass aircraft was in the air at all times 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for more than 29 years.)

If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama¹s going to buy you
a billy goat.
(Operation Goat Wounding is scheduled to begin soon at Fort Carson)

If that billy goat won¹t pull,
Mama¹s going to you
a cart and bull.
(Operation Bull between November 1967 and March 1968… a large-scale, long-duration operation mounted far from existing support facilities (Ho Chi Mihn Trail))

If that cart and bull turns over,
Mama¹s going to buy
a dog named Rover.
(The evacuation of all civilians from the Kim Son Valley was conducted as operation ROVER by elements of the 1st Cav Div. Once the valley was cleared, it was designated a "free-fire" zone)

If that dog named Rover won¹t bark,
Mama¹s going to buy you
a horse and cart
(The alleged existence for plans for an "Operation Horseshoe" was a crucial element of NATO's war propaganda.)

If that horse and cart falls down,
You¹ll still be the sweetest one in town.
