[Verse 1]
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the strangest thing
They say that I was born to swing

[Verse 2]
Listen my children and you shall hear
How I got the craze
From rocking in my cradle days

[Bridge]
Now all the kids would go to sleep
Like other sons and daughters
But not for me
My mother had to sing me Muddy Waters

[Verse 3]
Listen my children, though love is king
I can get along
As long as there's a song to swing

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Listen my children, though love is king
I can get along
I can get along
I can swing my song
As long as there's a song to swing
As long as there's a song to swing
