Tummytime,
An' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
An' the cotton is high.
****
Oh yo' daddy's rich
An yo' mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don' yo' cry
****
One of these mornin's
You're goin' to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread yo' wings
An' you'll take the sky.
****
But till that mornin'
There's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy an' mammy standin' by.

In my head, "Tummytime" is sung, of course, by either Ella or Billie. (Elli prefers Ella's version.
Which is A) surprising, given that he generally prefers Billie, and B) unsurprising because the boy
really likes to hear his name or versions of it.)

Of these two lines, only one of them is accurate. You can guess which:
