The world is a rock that's spinning so fast

It'll give you jim-jams

I'm just a real love diplomat

Won't give you no flim-flams

 

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

 

A G A F

 

How many stars girl can you both count and then classify?

I'm standing here in this big swirll

Singing this lullaby

 

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

 

 

For the C chord through nearly all of the song do something
