(A version of the classic lullaby, as sung tothe former paramour of John Ensign, the onlyveterinarian in the Senate, by his parents while giving her and her family a $96,000 gift)
Hush, little Cindy, don’t say a word. No one’s going to know just what’s occurred. If you’d like a swimming pool, Cindy and her hubby must stay real cool. If you want that diamond ring, Purge your thoughts of Larry King. Hush, little Cindy, don’t say a word. This whole thing must go unheard. Don’t you help those godless rats Send John back to dogs and cats.
