Chorus:

Rock-a-bye my baby in the tree top tall,
Rock-a-bye my baby when the shadows fall,
Rock-a-bye my baby and we'll have a ball,
Did you know the moon is made of cheese?
Did you know that money grows on trees?
Did you know I picked a hundred "G's"?
Close your eyes, close your eyes and away we'll fly.
Rock-a-bye my baby in the early bright,
Rock-a-bye my baby like a satellite,
Rock-a-bye my baby till you're out of sight,
Did you know the ocean's marmalade?
Did you know that TV stars get paid?
Did you know the Dodgers made that trade?
Now's the time to give your dreams a try.
Rock-a-bye my baby?
Rock, rock my baby!
Let's start to count those sheep.
Rock-a-bye my baby!
Rock, rock my baby!
Won't you go to sleep?
Rock-a-bye my baby to the land of nod,
Rock-a-bye my baby where the cherubs trod,
Rock-a-bye my baby, aren't cherubs odd?
Did you know my song is nearly through?
Did you know the sandman's overdue?
Did you know I'll soon be sleeping, too?
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye,
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye my baby bye.
