I have often wondered that myself... the only thing I can think of is the sounds of the song are very soft and soothing... and babies don't know what you are saying...

I never sang that song to either of my kids because it bothered me. I used to sing commercial jingles to put my oldest to sleep and my youngest just liked the rocking...no sound.

Why do we sing "ring around the rosies" when it's about tuberculosis? (I think it's tuberculosis; it might be polio.) Why do we sing "Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home." (Your house is on fire and your children will burn.) Scary thoughts. What nut wrote this stuff, huh?

Nursery rhymes are silly mess concocted to fascinate children; they do not have to make sense.
