TIPPY TOEING
(Bobby Harden, © '65 King Coal Music)

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

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
