Artist's commentary
Hush baby Hornet don't you cry
...Hush little Hornet don't you cry,
Nora's gonna catch you a butterfly.
If the butterfly won't come back
Nora's gonna buy you a pennant flag
If that pennant tangles up
Nora's gonna buy you a dixie cup
If that dixie cup is crooked
Nora's gonna buy you a pirate hook
If that pirate hook would bend
Nora's gonna buy you some gingerbread
When that gingerbread is done
Nora's gonna buy you another one
If that gingerbread's the last
Nora's gonna buy you a real wildcat
If that real wildcat gets lost
Nora's gonna tie you a bowline knot
...If that bowline knot would crack
You'll still be the proudest girl in Yorktown Class.
