Sleep, baby, sleep

Daddy's out to earn your keep

Sleep, baby, sleep

Mama's sad, hear her weep

Watching over you tonight

I get the feeling that life's alright

You can laugh aloud at those middle-aged fakes

Well I hope you don't make the same mistakes as me

Don't you do as I do, do as I say

Sleep, baby, sleep

Mama's out to earn your keep

Sleep, baby, sleep

Daddy's mad, hear him creep

Watching over you tonight

I get the feeling that life's alright

You can laugh aloud at those middle-aged fakes

Well I hope you don't make the same mistakes as me

Don't you do as I do, do as I say

Sleep, baby, sleep
