As parents, we go to great lengths to finesse our bedtime routine. But there’s one critical part of the ritual we’re slowing phasing out: lullabies. According to a recent YouGov poll commissioned by the Lullaby Trust in the U.K., just over a third of parents with kids under the age of 5 actually sing lullabies like “Rock-a-Bye Baby” and “Frère Jacques” at bedtime.
The problem? Singing to your baby can actually keep them calm for twice as long as talking to them, per a University of Montreal study. They’re also proven to be a precursor to later academic success, says Sally Goddard Blythe, director of the U.K.’s Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology. Ready to change your tune? To help you get started, we rounded up the lyrics to nine of the best lullabies. 1. ‘Hush Little Baby’Hush, little baby, don’t say a wordMama’s gonna buy you a diamond ringAnd if that looking glass gets brokeMama’s gonna buy you a cart and bullAnd if that dog named Rover won’t barkWell, you’ll still be the sweetest little baby in townUp above the world so high3. ‘Rock-a-Bye Baby’Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetopAnd down will come baby, cradle and allWhen skies are gray5.
