"Grandpa's Chair"

Now every grandpa needs a chair

To rock his babies in

And to and fro he'll go with them

Til sleepy times begin

So rock your babies William dear

And hold them close to you

They'll remember how it felt

When grandpa rocked them too

So to and fro you'll go again

With creaky groaning chair

For of the creaks and of the groans

Your babies are aware

Such soothing sounds they've come to love

Without a single word

For grandpa rocks them to and fro

When creaks and groans are heard
