Help! New Dad needs gun song!

Hey guys, and gals,

New Dad here, we had a little boy last Friday! Cutest little guy in the world! What I would like to come up with though(besides a way to sleep through the night!) is a version of the "Hush little baby" song that talks about things that DAD likes like P-7s, Glocks 1911s, CLP, 45,9,223, etc. You get the idea...

Anyone got any ideas? Anybody know about anything pre-existing, or give me your best lines...doesnt have to be the whole song, every little bit will help me to put it together! Thanks!

Here are the words from the original, thanks.....

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Why not just sing Barry Sadler's "The Ballad of the Green Berets," or some other manly-man song that your dad likes? The kid doesn't care.

Or you could play him any one of Jay-Z, Nas, or Beanie Siegel's famously gun oriented Gangsta rap songs. Classics like, "Got myself a gun", Streets Are Watchin', "Ether", "The Takeover", and even the hit "Oh Boy" by Cam'ron. These are the tunes today's "Gun Nuts " love to listen to... All the time.

No really, congratulations on the kid, try these lines:

Hush little baby don't you be sad,
Daddy's gonna get you a big bad gat.

And if that big black gat won't bang,
Daddy's gonna get you a .45 thang.

And if that .45 thang won't pop,
Daddys gonna get you a 23 GLOCK

And if that 23 GLOCK goes to heaven,
Daddy's gonna buy you a new P7

And if that 'Ol P7 won't feed,
Daddy's gonna get you a .223

And if that .223 ain't fine,
Daddy's gonna get you a new nickel 9

And if that new nickel 9 don't shine,
Daddy maight get you a new land mine,

And if that land mine won't stop him,
You'll just have to go and get Bin Laden.

Figured it couldn't hurt the kid to know who his enemies are too

I've always been partial to "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins. That's what my dad sung to me as a child.
