Rockabye Baby! Lyrics

Little miss Mary Mack
Referring to a girl named Mary Mack

Had buttons all down her back
She was wearing a dress with buttons on the back

She let Geordie loosen them up and now her belly's fat
She allowed Geordie to unbutton her dress, and now she is pregnant and has a bigger belly

Now mary's little lamb
Referring to Mary's child as a lamb, a term used to show affection

Follows her wherever she goes
The child is always with her and follows her around

No more hanging out at the bar, cause baby ain't old enough
Mary can no longer go hang out with friends at the bar because the baby is too young

So now its Mary and Georgie, sitting in a tree
Mary and Georgie are now in a relationship

With a b-a-b-y baby
Referring to their baby

I bet they learned a lesson, about early sex
They have learned that having sex at an early age can lead to unintended consequences

And why it shouldn't be
They have learned that having sex at an early age is not a good idea

Rockabye baby
Singing a lullaby to the baby

Said georgie to mary (its your turn)
Georgie sings to the baby and then prompts Mary to do the same

Said mary to georgie (its your turn)
Mary sings to the baby and then prompts Georgie to do the same

Rock, rockabye rockabye tonight
Rocking the baby to sleep

Its been three years since they finished high school
Referring to the passage of three years since Mary and Georgie graduated from high school

Now baby's growing up
The baby is getting older

Mary works sellin' hot crossed buns, since georgie's up and gone
Mary is working to support herself and the baby, as Georgie is no longer around

All thanks to peter's piper, mary can pay the bills
Mary is able to pay the bills because of Peter Piper, a character from a nursery rhyme, referring to Mary's job

She can't get a 9 to 5 cause she ain't go to college
Mary cannot get a typical office job because she did not attend college

No g-e-org-i-e georgie
Georgie is no longer in the picture

I bet she learned a lesson about havin' children before you are ready
Mary has learned that having children before being ready can be difficult

I said marys been workin all live long day
Mary has been working hard all day long to support herself and the child

Evey since baby's daddy went away
Georgie is no longer with them

She gave up her sweet little puddin pie
Mary had to sacrifice her personal life and relationships for the sake of the baby

Now shes got little boy blue on her side
Referring to Mary's child

Screamin' "georgie pordgie let me in"
Mary is expressing frustration towards Georgie for leaving and not being involved in their lives

Saying "not by the hair of my chiny chin chin"
Mary is refusing to let Georgie back into her life

She scribbled down I hate you on his subpoena papers
Mary wrote "I hate you" on legal papers for Georgie

This baby's yours and I need support
Mary is demanding that Georgie provide support for their child

Mary used to be a pretty maid, now shes hustling to get paid
Mary used to have a different life before the baby and is now working hard to make ends meet

Georgie promised her the finer things, till baby blue was born
Georgie made promises to Mary before the baby arrived, but he did not follow through

Now she sits up all alone at night, wipin tear drops from her eyes
Mary spends her nights alone, wiping away tears

Wishin georgie did her right since baby came alone
Mary wishes that Georgie would have done better since the baby was born

Rockabye baby its your turn
Continuing to sing a lullaby to the baby

Rockabye baby tonight
Rocking the baby to sleep
