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   Well I guess it's dropped its little bottle maybe   Well daddy come a running 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 we know what's the matter with the 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   [ guitar ]   Well mommy tippy toeing daddy tippy toeing 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 ringing 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 after all it's just a little baby   Oh mama rock a baby...   At last it's a sleepin' little baby at last it's a sleepin' little baby
