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.
