Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby || Rhyme -Words or endings of words that sound similar Repetition - Repeating word or phrase to emphasize Assonance - Repetition of similar vowel sounds || =Fireflies by: Owl City = You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head A sock hop  beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems
