“Tippy Toeing” was originally recorded by The Harden Trio and was also covered by Jan Howard. It is track #8 on Ms. Loretta’s album, You Ain’t Woman Enough.
This song is about being parents of a new baby and works quite well as a lullaby.
[Verse 1]
Well a Momma go a tippy tippy toein' through the house
Gonna see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squallin' and a kickin' on the wall
Well I guess it dropped it's little bottle maybe
[Verse 2]
Well Daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wonderin' and a waitin'
I know what's the matter with the baby
[Chorus]
Oh Momma rock a baby, Daddy rock a baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So Momma keep a rockin', Daddy rock a little too
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
[Verse 3]
Well Momma tippy toein', Daddy tippy toein' too
Gonna try to do a little sleepin' maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two
Is depending entirely on the baby
[Verse 4]
Well I hear the clock a ringin', just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy go and make a little money maybe
Momma sleep a little longer, but remember while he's gone
Oh won't you please take care of the baby?
[Chorus]
Oh Momma rock a baby, Daddy rock a baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So Momma keep a rockin', Daddy rock a little too
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
[Outro]
After all it's just a little bitty baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
