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 right away
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wond'rin' 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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
I sleep a little longer don't you worry while you're gone
I'll take good care of the baby.

Oh mama rock a baby
After all it's just a little baby h, 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.

Mm, hmm, it's a sleepin' little baby...
