Tippy Toeing Lyrics - Jan Howard

Well mama go a tippy tippy toein' through the house 

Gotta 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's dropped its little bottle maybe 

Oh daddy come a runnin' with the water right away 

Gonna need another little diaper maybe 

No need a hesitatin' or a wond'rin' and a waitin' I know what's the matter with baby 

Oh mama rock a baby daddy rock a baby too it's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe 

So mama keep a rockin' daddy rock a little too and at last it's a sleepin' little baby 

[ guitar ] 

Well mama 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 

Well I hear the clock a ringin' just a dongin' and a dingin' 

Daddy go and make a little money maybe 

I sleep a little longer don't you worry while you're gone 

I'll take good care of the baby 

Oh mama rock a baby... 

After all it's just a little baby hmm hmm it's a sleepin' little baby
