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
