I like lazing in the mid-day sun Doin' nothin' is having fun I said, "Oh, Lord, I love lazin' in your mid-day sun" And I like doin' my thing all night With my baby that suits me right I said, "Come on, baby, do your thing all night with me" And I like swimmin' in the deep, blue sea I like swimmin' but it don't like me I said, "Come on, baby, let me take you to the deep, blue sea" 'Cause I'm gonna let my hair hang down I'm gonna let my skin turn brown I said, "Come on, baby, let your hair hang down with me" Wake me up if you're goin' down and I'll put things right You might get weary sometimes I give you my word you're gonna sleep tonight I said, "Oh, come closer in my arms 'Cause I'm gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues" "Oh, I'm gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues" Try me out if you're still in doubt because it's up to you If I should fail you sometimes It's not because I wanted to make you blue, oh, dear, no Come closer in my arms 'Cause I'm gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues Oh, I'm gonna sing you my Rock-a-Bye Baby Blues
