Songs to sing your daughter (1): Trying to get her to sleep

[wwhyte]

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch pig
Went to the doctor to get her a wig
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch dog
Went to the forest to get her a log
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch cow
Stood on a table and went bow-wow-wow
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch horse
Slept on some hay in a stable, of course
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch car
Stood on her tiptoes and tickled a star
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai

Evington Evington Mai-ovitch bug
Kept all her troubles rolled up in a rug
Evington, Evington, Evington, why?
I have to, she said, 'cause my name's Eva Mai
