Men at Work
For he's weeping and he's wailing and he's rocking the cradle, And pleasing the baby and the child not his own.
2  "When I first fell in love with your innocent mother, Like an old fool that was left with a wife,
But through all mistakes and through my misfortunes, For Pm born to be plagued in the days of my life.
3  "When evening comes on she's off to some party, She will leave me to sing and to rock all alone j But the innocent baby she'll call me her daddy, But it's little she knows I'm never so.
4  "Now come all you young men if you want to get married, I pray you take warning and leave women alone,
For by the Lord Harry, if you ever get married, You'll be rocking the cradle and the child not your own."
