Well, mama go a tippy, tippy toein' through the house
Gotta see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squawlin' and a kickin' on the wall
I guess it dropped its' little bottle, maybe
Oh! Daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper, maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wond'rin and a waitin'
I know what's the matter with the baby.
No need a hesitatin or a wond'rin and a waitin'
We know what's the matter with the baby.
Oh! Mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby, too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe
So, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby.
Well, mama tippy-toein', daddy tippy-toein' too
Gonna try to do a little sleepin', maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two
Is depending entirely on the baby.
Well, I hear the clock the ringin', just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy go and make a little money, maybe
Mama sleep a little longer, but remember while I'm gone
Won't you please take care of the baby
After all, it's just a little, bitty baby.
Oh! Mama rock-a-baby, daddy rock-a-baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy, maybe
Well, mama keep a rockin', daddy rock a little, too
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby.
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby
And at last it's a sleepy, little baby.
