Rock-a-bye Baby, so warm in your nest
Your poor Da-da's not well and he must have a rest
His head is just splittin', he says it's the flu
But it's not the real reason, between me and you
He went out on Monday to buy us some shoes
And he heard of a horse now that just couldn't lose
Well, he bought the new shoes,that I can vow
For the Bookmaker's daughter is wearing them now
Rock-a-bye Baby, so warm in your nest
Your poor Da-da's not well and he must have a rest
His head is just splittin', he says it's the flu
But it's not the real reason, between me and you
He went out on Wednesday, in the late afternoon
And he happened to pass by a billiard saloon
The balls ran against him, I'm sorry to say
And that's one of the reasons he's not feeling gay
Rock-a-bye Baby, so warm in your nest
Your poor Da-da's not well and he must have a rest
His head is just splittin', he says it's the flu
But it's not the real reason, between me and you
He went out last night and he hadn't a bob
But he met Tommy Carty who'd got a new job
They went celebratin', just a pint here and there
And he sears he was poisoned, and I'm sure we don't care
Rock-a-bye Baby, so warm in your nest
Your poor Da-da's not well and he must have a rest
His head is just splittin', he says it's the flu
But it's not the real reason, between me and you
