Lyrics

Ow! Oh yeah, get up! Ow! Ow! Ow! Well, they say it's kinda frightenin' How this younger generation swings You know it's more than just some new sensation Well, the kid is into losin' sleep And he don't come home for half the week You know it's more than just an aggravation And the cradle will rock Yes the cradle, cradle will rock And I say rock on, ooh! Rock on And when some local kid gets down They try an' drum him outta town They say "Ya coulda least faked it, boy" Fake it, boy (ooh, stranger, boy) At an early age he hits the street Winds up tired with who he meets An' he's unemployed (unemployed) ow! And the cradle will rock, ow! And the cradle, the cradle will rock An' I say rock on Oh! Say, rock on Have you seen Junior's grades? Ooh! Ow! And when some local kid gets down They try an' drum him outta town They say, "Ya could've least faked it, boy, faked it, boy" And so an early age he hits the street 'N' winds up tired with who he meets An' he's unemployed His folks are overjoyed And the cradle will rock Yes the cradle, the cradle will rock I say rock on Hey, rock on (Rock on) rock on (Rock on) This ain't never been new, babe, child, ow! (Rock on) wow! Aw I said now, I said, (rock on), "rock on" Rock on, aw-aw (Rock on) (Rock on) (Rock on) (Rock on) (Rock on)
