Papa's Knee

(Richard Supa)



To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee.



Rock-a-bye man, rock-a-bye song

Papa would sing, I'd hum along

I'd climb on his lap and he'd sing to me

Only a child on my Papa's knee.



Now Papa would sing, a little off key

But filled me with feelings of sweet harmony

How I'd like to hear that old tune again

And rock to and fro in lullaby land.



To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan

Oh, takes me back to my childhood home

To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee.



Now sometimes alone I remises

Surrender my thoughts about love ones I miss

A child so young I love to think of this

And I can recall how Papa rocked me.



To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan

Oh, takes me back to my childhood home

To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee...
