Lyrics for Song: The Ballad Of Cradle Rob And Me
Lyrics for Album: It Must Be Magic [1981]



Saw a cradle playin' in the schoolyard one day

Pretty young boy, I takes him home to play

Soon we was hangin' Venice alleyway

Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me



Rob and me lived on the same block

He's kinny garden, I in knee socks

He goin' play doctor over by the docks

Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me



Cradle's still fresh in junior high

Rob ain't so fresh at fourteen

Me, I was just the last word

Ooh, have you heard the hearsay?

I was robbin' the cradle, no, it wasn't that way



I 'member one day back in '74

When Cradle's mama said it wasn't cute no more

I was three years too old for her to ignore

She said I was robbin' the cradle but it was Cradle Rob and me



We hung around about a year after that

'Til Rob found another girl to put his hair in plaits

And I said, "Girl, don't you worry me and we'll have none of that"

Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me



Cradle's semi fresh in college now

Rob ain't so fresh at nineteen

Me, I'm still the last word

Ooh, have your heard the hearsay?

I was robbin' the cradle, no, it wasn't that way



Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me

Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me
