| Rocking chair, oh rocking chair
|
| Are you rocking someone’s heart when I’m not there.
|
| Tell me true
|
| What do you do the minute I’m gone
|
| For I can’t bear to think that you’ve done me wrong.
|
| Rocking chair, my rocking chair
|
| You’ve been sharing out your charms, I do declare.
|
| Now that’s not right
|
| When I get home at night from working all day
|
| To find you’ve been a’rocking while I’m away.
|
| As I was walking home tonight, I took a look inside a shop.
|
| I sat me down on a chair or two
|
| And they show you how to rock.
|
| I paid deposit on an easy chair —
|
| I even tried me a three-piece suite.
|
| But I would rather work this whole thing out
|
| 'Cause none of them can compete.
|
| Rocking chair, so firm and fair
|
| When I’m in your arms, no other can compare.
|
| So do take care, you’d better take care
|
| My rocking chair
|
| It shouldn’t be hard
|
| Or else you’re gonna wind up in the yard.
|
| Rocking chair people, they’re all very fine
|
| But they can read you a mile away.
|
| Once they fall for your tender arms
|
| And you both begin to sway.
|
| They really know how to turn you on And show you how to rock.
|
| Let me tell you now your dad is back
|
| This fooling has got to stop.
|
| Um-umm
|
| Ah-aah
|
| You better take care, yes you better take care
|
| Sweet rocking chair
|
| It shouldn’t be hard or else you’re gonna wind up in the. |
| ..
|
| So don’t give me no jive, d-d-don't give me no jive
|
| If you wanna survive, if-if-if you wanna survive
|
| You better beware
|
| Sweet rocking chair
|
| Shop around and see if I care. |
