little bitty betty

you're a baby

little bitty betty

could you maybe

go to sleep now

your mama's so tired



little bitty betty

little lady

underneath the tree

cool and shady

get lazy with me

that's all i require



dreaming's a vacation from being awake

all you gotta do is take

a little nap with me

are you ready?



little bitty betty

gettin' weepy

i'm gonna rock ya steady

till you're sleepy

rollin' the stroller around

but your eyes are open wider



little bitty betty

she's a fighter

no jack or jim or eddy

could hold a match beside her

why don't you lay down your arms

and just retire?



come with me to the land of make believe

you'll float your boat into a dream

if you fall asleep with me

are you ready?



little bitty betty

baby listen

curl up there with your teddy

you don't know what you're missin'

one baby for sale

will anybody buy her?



little bitty betty

i love you baby

but oh boy baby betty

you drive me crazy

go to sleep now

your mama's so tired
