Happy Baby and a Brand New Song

The Great Plotnik knows its out of focus, but ain't that a smile?

Plotnik has finished 'Don't Cry, Isabella.' This is Baby Song II. Since Baby Song I was written before she was born, and Baby Song II at three months old, we should expect the album to be completed by the time she takes Early Admission to Harvard (Third Grade).

Here's the lyric:


-baglama- key of G (concert F#)

Don't Cry, Isabella

You'll be a brain
Sweeter than sugar cane
You'll be so cool
I'll bet you own your school

Don't Cry, Isabella, Mommy hasn't gone too far
Don't Cry, Isabella, love is everywhere you are

Doctor, lawyer, traveler of the world
Nothing's too much for my baby girl

So Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I

You'll be so wise
You've got your Mommy's eyes
A little wild
'cuz you're your Daddy's child

Don't cry, Isabella, all your lights are turning green
Don't cry, Isabella, life is just a bowl of cream

Pilot, poet, Princess of the Nile
Not one tooth but such a pretty smile

So Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I

Baby cry, baby pout
Mommy jump, Daddy jump
You're gonna wear them out
Mommy jump, Daddy jump
Brown eyes boo hoo hooin'
Mommy jump, Daddy jump
You know just what you're doin'
Mommy jump, Daddy jump

Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
Don't Cry, Baby I
