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
And winds up tired with who he meets
An' he's unemployed
(Unemployed) Oww

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! I said... Rock on
(Rock on) Rock on. Ooh!
(Rock on)
(Rock on)
(Rock on)
(Rock on)
(Rock on)
