Lyrics
Chorus
Rock-a-bye Baby, it won’t be long now
Rock-a-bye Baby, we’ll make it some how
For we can rent out our bedroom at night
We’ll sleep without any light
Why should we worry?
When we’re out of sight
Then in the Summer and Winter time
We’ll live on loving, Gee, that’s divine
Then we will build a sweet home
But not for two dear alone
Rock-a-bye Baby
(“Oh! Daddy, Oh! Mammy”)
Won’t be long now
Chorus
Rock-a-bye Baby, it won’t be long now
Rock-a-bye Baby, we’ve made it some how
Now we can use our own bedroom at night
We’ll have just plenty of light
No sleep, but worry
He’ll cry all the night
Then in the Summer and Winter time
We’ll hear him bawling
Gosh, that’s a crime
But we have built a sweet home
But not for two dear alone
Rock-a-bye Baby
(“Oh! Daddy, Oh! Mammy”)
Won’t be long now
