ROCK AND ROLL LULLABY
(Cecil B. Smith)
REG SMITH (RCA VICTOR 57-3265, 1958)

There's a brand new daddy livin' on our street
He sings to his baby with a rock 'n' roll beat
In the middle of the night when the baby cries
You'll hear him singin' rock 'n' roll lullabies

Rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
You gotta rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
Oh, rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

Now hush, quit your weepin'
'Cause you're mammie is a-sleepin'
And daddy loves from your head to your feet
Close your eyes, snuggle down
While I dance you around
To that crazy old rock 'n' roll beat

You gotta rock, let's rock
C'mon and rock, oh rock
Let's rock
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

Grandma said, my goodness what an awful thing
Let me dance to the old rock'n'wing
The baby didn't like and began to cry
Till his daddy sang a rock 'n' roll lullaby

Rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
You gotta rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
Oh, rock, rock, rock-a-bye rock
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

Now hush, quit your weepin'
'Cause you're mammie is a-sleepin'
And daddy loves from your head to your feet
Close your eyes, snuggle down
While I dance you around
To that crazy old rock 'n' roll beat

You gotta rock, let's rock
C'mon and rock, let's rock
You gotta rock
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
