Swing Me A Lullaby Composer(s): Don Raye - Hughie Prince - Tom Waring Performer(s): Connee Boswell; Louis Prima; Wingy Manone
"Rockabye my baby", my momma sings to me "In a treetop, going sleepy bye" But I'd rather have a hot band to rock my cradle And swing me a lullaby!
"Bye bye baby buddy" is such a silly song And I know the bogeyman's a lie! I know a better way to sleep Than just by countin' sheep Oh, swing me a lullaby!
"Little fishy in the brook Poppa catch 'im by the hook" Puts me to sleep quick enough But for my lullaby Give me a "Hi-de-hi!" and stuff!
Oh, guess my mom will always sing me lullabies But I wish she'd really learn to try Instead of "Mighty lak' a rose" Sing me "Honeysuckle rose" And swing me a lullaby!
Guess my mom will always sing me lullabies But I wish she'd really learn to try Instead of "Mighty lak' a rose" Sing me "Honeysuckle rose" And swing Oh momma, swing me a lullaby!
