The world is a rock that’s spinning so fast
It’ll give you jim-jams

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
