Lyrics:

(Bobby Harden) 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
