I like lazing in the midday sun Doing nothing is having fun, I said Oh Lord, I love lazing in your midday sun And I like doing 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 swimming in the deep blue sea I like swimming 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 going 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
