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 squallin` and a kickin` on the wall
Well I guess it`s 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 wonderin` and a waitin` I know what`s the matter with 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 sleepin` little baby
[ steel ]
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 a ringin` just a dongin` and a dingin`
Daddy go and make a little money maybe
Mama sleep a little longer but remember while he`s gone
Won`t you please take care of the baby
Oh mama rock a baby...
And at last it`s a sleepin` little baby after all it`s a sleepin` little baby
After all it`s a sleepin` little baby after all it`s a sleepin` little baby
