♫ FUEL (NEWBORN EDITION)
Give me milk, give me diaper,
Give me that which I desire.
Ooh, you'd better feed me now,
Screaming loud, I'll show you how.
Turn me on, 2 AM,
Pump again and pump again.
Swaddle tight, burp me right,
I'm the riff that rules the night.
Give me milk! Give me diaper!
Give me that which I desire!

Fuel (S&M version), orchestra and all, volume at 11.
May your baby sleep through the night, feed like a champion,
and one day grow up to be a Metallica fan.
The Black Album is a good place to start.
Nothing Else Matters — except a full belly and a dry diaper.
