Well mama go a tippy tippy toeing 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
A-well I guess it's dropped its little bottle maybe
Oh daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna see another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wonderin' and a waitin' I know what's the matter with baby
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 sleeping little baby

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 but while her daddy's gone
Mama gonna have to take care of the baby after all it's just a little bitty baby
Oh mama rock a baby...
And at last it's a sleeping little baby and at last it's a sleeping little baby
