Sticks and stones will break my bones
But I always will be true
And when your mama is dead and gone
I'll sing this lullaby just for you

    Astoundingly beautiful. I love the music, the words, the lyrics and the various voices Tom uses. Tear-jerking moment - when the strings play high and he sings 'climb up through that buttonhole'. Gets me every time

    This is so impressive...the guys of South Park must have been listening to this when they wrote Satan's song "Up There" for the movie.
