Box.
Hush’d is the bacon on the grid, I'll take a nap and close my eye, Soon shall I be nodding, nodding nid, Nid nodding, nodding, nodding, nodding. Singing lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby, Hush a bye bacon, on the coal top, Till I awaken, there you will stop, Hush a bye bacon, on the coal top, Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby. Sleep, gentle bacon, smoke amid, Which, circling up, smile on the fry, While I am nodding, nodding nid, Nid nodding, nodding, nodding, nodding. Singing lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby, Hush a bye bacon, on the coal top, Till I awaken, there you will stop, Hush a bye bacon, on the coal top, Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.		Malcolm Williams as Mr. Box
