Standard (EADGBE)

Well mama go a tippy, tippy toein' through the house,

Gotta see what's the matter with the baby.

It's been bawlin' and a-sqwallin' and a-kickin' on the wall,

Well, I guess it dropped it's 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 the baby.

We know what's the matter with the baby.

Chorus

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 its a sleepin' little baby.(last line x3)

Well mama's tippy toein', daddy's tippy toein' too,

Gonna try to do a little sleepin' maybe.

Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two,

Is dependin' 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 I'm gone,

Won't you please take care of the baby?

After all he's just a little bitty baby.

Chorus

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
