Van Halen And the Cradle Will Rock... song lyrics

Ow!

Oh yeah, get up!

Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Well, they say it's kinda frightenin'

How this younger generation swings

You know it's more than just some new sensation

Well, the kid is into losin' sleep

And he don't come home for half the week

You know it's more than just an aggravation

And the cradle will rock

Yes the cradle, cradle will rock

And I say rock on, ooh!

Rock on

And when some local kid gets down

They try an' drum him outta town

They say "Ya coulda least faked it, boy", fake it, boy (Ooh, stranger, boy)

At an early age he hits the street

And winds up tired with who he meets

An' he's unemployed

(Unemployed?) Oww!

And the cradle will rock, ow!

And the cradle, the cradle will rock

An' I say rock on

Oh! Say, rock on

Have you seen Junior's grades?

Ooh!

Ow!

And when some local kid gets down

They try an' drum him outta town

They say "Ya could've least faked it, boy, faked it, boy"

And so an early age he hits the street

'N winds up tired with who he meets

An' he's unemployed

His folks are overjoyed

And the cradle will rock

Yes the cradle, the cradle will rock

I say rock on

Hey! Rock on

(Rock on) Rock on

(Rock on) This ain't never been new, babe, child. Ow!

(Rock on) Wow! I said... Rock on

(Rock on) Rock on. Ooh!

(Rock on)

(Rock on)

(Rock on)

(Rock on)

(Rock on)
