Brenda Lee Lyrics
"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...
