Oh, papa is out breaking rocks on the street,
and baby is sleeping so cozy and sweet.
Oh, baby, don't cry now, but be very good
and when papa comes home he'll bring you cig-a-root
Tou-re-lay!
Tou-re-lay!
With my fil-la-ga du-sha, shin-a-ma roo-sha
bal-der-al-da boom
Tou-re-lay!
Tou-re-lay!
And the pride of the house is papa's ba-by!
When papa has gum drops and baby has none,
if papa is foolish and gives baby some,
When four o'-clock comes and the child sleeps no more,
then poor pa-pa stays up all night pacing the floor
Tou-re-lay!
Tou-re-lay!
With my fil-la-ga du-sha, shin-a-ma roo-sha
bal-der-al-da boom
Tou-re-lay!
Tou-re-lay!
And the pride of the house is papa's ba-by!
