Results of working all night and discussing with fellow Mods about the NCIS Dreams, Sorgina had this idea that perhaps the creative among you could take some popular lullabies and parody them in relation to our favourite NCIS characters/storylines. Good night, sleep tight and sweet N-Kiss dreams to you all (and be not disturbed by Abby's very Abby-like lullaby: you just know she had to have a strange one...).

More parodies can be found at Karaoke page, poems page and love songs recycled page.

TO DO LIST: songs begging for NCIS version of lyrics: "Daydream believer" by the Monkees; "Dream a little dream of me" (Mamas and the Poppas); Nessun Dorma ("None shall sleep" from opera, Turandot); "Herod's Dream" (from rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar) "Killing me softly with his song" by Aretha Franklin (I think)

ABBY'S LULLABY (to the tune of "the windmills of your mind")	Gibbs' Lullaby (to the tune of "Dream" by the Everly Bros)
Round like a circle in a spiral Like a dream within a dream Never ending or beginning Like a Ziva-victim's scream Like a Palmer down a mountain Or an Honor Code balloon Like a sniper's gun that's turning Running bullets round the room Like a gothic tech that's yearning for her mass spectrometer And a specimen that's burning up The oxygen in air Like the images you find as your N-CIS dreams unwind	Drea-eam, dream, dream, dream Drea-eam, dream, dream, dream When I have crimes, I want to solve When bad guys seem, to have control Whenever I want peace, all I have to do is Drea-eam, dream, dream, dream We agents brood in the night We keep the faith, we hold on tight. While waiting for Abby's test from the lab, We Drea-eam
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone Find a victim's body waiting But assassin's been and gone Has he left forensic timebombs That will see him taken down? Or will he outwit our Jethro: Make his gut instinct a clown? Will old Fornell beat him to it And stop by his dream to gloat? Will our Tony meet old Sacks and grasp him firmly by the throat? All these images unwind In the dreams that stalk your mind Like a circle in a spiral Ziva gets behind the wheel Nightmare journeys now continue With an everlasting feel Yet the dreams and hopes unwind As the brakes now Ziva finds In the NCIS of your mind.	I interrogate, glare and speculate Anytime night or day Hack the CIA? What? Hey! I'm dreamin' they'll say its OK I work knowing that I could die I love justice and that is why Whenever you need me, all you have to do is Screa-ea-ea-ea-eam, scream, scream, scream screa-ea-ea-ea-eam I can catch a crook, throw at him the book Bluff, so he'll give himself away Keep him up all night Give fright. I'm dreamin' in jail he'll stay. My family died, and so I hide My heart away (I have my pride...yet..) Whenever I want them, all I have to do is Dre-eam, Dream Dream Dream Whenever I want Shannon All I have to do is Dream.
Puzzled? Notes on Abby's lullaby: Ziva-victim's scream (general ref to Ziva's ability to scare people into confession); Palmer down a mountain (he wore the wrong shoes and rolled all the way down); Honor Code Balloon (the child's balloon that escapes in the opening scene of that ep); sniper's gun (sniper Ari sprayed bullets into Abby's lab in Kill Ari); gothic technician = Abby; specimen burning up oxygen (just a generic science ref); forensic timebombs (any trace evidence left by baddy will, in time, destroy his freedom); JethroJethro's gut instinct (generic reference to famed GibbsGibbs' trait); Fornell gloat (generic reference Fornell famed trait); Tony was wrongly jailed by FBI Agent Sacks in "Frame Up" and now loathes him; Ziva nightmare behind the wheel (her bad driving).	Hack the CIA? Gibbs ordered McGee to hack the CIA on written orders. Fornell knew of this later but did not pursue it. Gibbs was looking for evidence of what the Director was up to (and what the connection to the Frog could be). Gibbs and McGee discovered Shepard's suicidedsuicide and was of interest to CIA.
Ziva's LullabySweet Dreams (Are Made of These) Annie Lennox	Wiki-ist's Lullaby (The N-Kisser's Lullaby)
Sweet dreams are made of this Who are we to disagree? We travel the world by the seven seas Every agent's looking for something. Some like Ari will shoot you Some of them want to get shot by you All of them want to confuse you None of them want to be accused. Sweet dreams are made of this Though Gibbs might choose to disagree? Protecting the world 'cross the seven seas Everybody's looking for bad guys.	When I grow too old to dream I'll have Gibbs to remember. When I hear the N-Kiss theme My blood will surge through my heart. I'll watch the old show And bask in the glow 'Cause if I grow too old to dream My Gibbs will live in my heart. When I grow to old to dream I'll be older than Ducky When I cannot see the screen I'll simply watch with my ears This wiki I know Will honour my show Until I grow too old to dream (Sure hope that takes many years!)
McGee's Lullaby (from Mary Poppins...well, it would be, wouldn't it?)	Kate's Lullaby from Les Miserables
Stay awake Dont rest your head Vigilance! Or wake up dead You're not sleepy Do not dream Stay awake: protect the team Stay awake: coffee, no cream. Mourn for Tony, watch and wait Bad guy's out there full of hate Sleep seems dang'rous Sleep seems strange Stay awake, maintain the rage Stay awake, read crimelog's page Evildoers we have met Like the darkness: try to bet We will sleep, we'll fail to see All the evil things that be Hidden by their dark night screen Boss seems always wide awake Works on through 'til morning breaks While we agents rest and dream He's on guard, unto extremes. Waits for dawn to wipe night clean. Had me hack the CIA Through the night until the day Ushered in a Ziva tense Full of doubt, of fear... Defence! "'Twas computer maintenance!" How Gibbs does it I don't know Never sleeps yet never shows Signs of weakness Signs of doubt I wake up and make a vow "Stay awake! I'll not sleep now" When I reach my bed tonight Fall down flat then curl up tight Block the thoughts of "might have been" Deal with "now" and "what will be" Off to bed, perchance to dream.	V1. I dreamed a dream in days gone by When I was young and life worth living I dreamed that I would never die I dreamed that guns would be forgiving V2. Then I was young and unafraid No songs unsung, no case rejected But there are prices to be paid And to serve justice, I elected (chorus) And the lion roared delight As his claws reached out to touch me With a 'Kate' to catch his prey Brought me down in glare of day V3. I thought that Ari's eyes seemed kind I thought we'd reached some understanding But I was fooled and he denied My human right to life, demanding V4. That Gibbs should suffer through my death That all my hopes and fears be wasted A master shot, and I was slain The pow'r of Ari, unabated (Chorus) Now these seraphim appear To sing songs of endless glory Yet I'd swap them all, I fear Just to live another day V 5 (coda) My dreams of old all turned to dust My dreams have changed to new directions Ziva shot Ari! (oh so just!) Now torment Ari: that's my dream Note: a "Kate" is what the marines call the type of weapon that Ari used when he shot Kate. It was one of the facts that finally made Ziva begin to doubt that Ari was the good guy that she had imagined him to be.
