Story Behind The Song
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all. What a terrible thought to put into a child's head when he's trying to go to sleep. I thought the world needed a safer Rockabye Baby song, so here you go!
Song Description
The child sings with mommy, daddy, grammy and grandpa, and of course, the favorite teddy bear. Add up the kid, the grownup, the teddy and the rocker, and you have a perfect recipe for sleep when singing this song.

Lyrics
Soon I will be out like a light
Sleep is something I shouldn't fight.
Rockabye baby on the treetop
Sounds kinda scary...what if I drop?
So let's keep it safe, we'll rock in the chair
Mommy and me and my teddy bear
Snuggling close
Soakin' up peace
Drifting off to sleep.
Variations: Change Mommy to Daddy, Grammy, Grandpa for verse 2, 3 & 4
