CHORUS

Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop

When the wind blows the cradle will rock

So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop

When the wind blows, mmm



Well, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Jack jumped over the candlestick

He jumped so high up above

He landed in the cradle of love



CHORUS



Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

And on the way down she met a turtle dove

Said "Let's go rockin' in the cradle of love"



CHORUS



Jack and Jill went up the hill

To get a pail of water

Jack fell for Jill, gave her a shove

They fell into the cradle of love



CHORUS
