Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top,

When you grow up, you'll work in a shop;

When you are married, your spouse will work too,

So that the rich will have nothing to do.

Hush-a-bye baby, on the tree top,

When you grow old, your wages will stop;

When you have spent the little you've saved,

Hush-a-bye baby, off to the grave.
