A Jitterbug Lullaby Lyrics

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Little jitterbug don't cry
You'll be swingin' by and by
You are just a tiny tot
And until you've grown a lot
Your rattle will have to do
Little jitterbug go slow
You'll be rockin' 'fore you know
Daddy won't be home 'til dawn
When he left, he took his horn
Someday you will have one too

If you're like your Pa,
Sonny, you'll go far
My you'll look grand
Leadin' a band
Foolish it may be
But this dream's on me
And it's for you
Make it come true
Little jitterbug it's dawn
Why dream a dream of Daddy's horn
If you're good and go to sleep
He will give you one to keep
Little jitterbug go sleep

(Musical Break)

Sonny, go to sleep
Swing will always keep
When you're of age
You'll top the page
Listen to your Ma
'Cos she taught your Pa
His swing is true
Yours will be too
Little jitterbug it's dawn, ah-ha-ha,
Dream a dream of Daddy's horn
If you're good and go to sleep
He will give you one to keep
Little jitterbug, go sleep,
Little jitterbug, go sleep.

(Sammy Cahn / Saul Chaplin)
