CHORUS Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop When the wind blows the cradle will rock So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop When the wind blows, mmm
Well, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candlestick He jumped so high up above He landed in the cradle of love
CHORUS
Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon And on the way down she met a turtle dove Said 'Let's go rockin' in the cradle of love'
CHORUS
Jack and Jill went up the hill To get a pail of water Jack fell for Jill, gave her a shove They fell into the cradle of love
CHORUS
