Brenda Lee - Papa's Knee Lyrics






To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee
Rock-a-bye man, rock-a-bye song
Papa would sing, I'd hum along
I'd climb on his lap and he'd sing to me
Only a child on my Papa's knee

Now Papa would sing, a little off key
But filled me with feelings of sweet harmony
How I'd like to hear that old tune again
And rock to and fro in lullaby land

To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan
Oh takes me back to my childhood home
To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee

Now sometimes alone
I remises, surrender my thoughts about love ones I miss
A child so young
I love to think of this
And I can recall how Papa rocked me

To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan
Oh takes me back to my childhood home
To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee

    Hey Beau, let's go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou,
    I want to see the Christmas Tree, dance o- fais dodo
    Have a big time and cut a shine, where all will be gay-o
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
    Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
    I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère ami-o
    So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
    See ma Nannan and ma Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o,
    See Ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun, Bébé and Jo-Jo,
    See Jolivet oh my sweet pet and get me some sugar,
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
    So roll the rug, let's kiss and hug and let's all be gay-o,
    A merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne année-o
    I'm gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o,
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
    Dionne wants a push-y-on, a pistolette and yo-yo,
    My Jolivet, oh my sweet pet, Lord cher ami-o,
    Oh Auntie Luce will cook the goose, and she will serve the gumbo,
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
    Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
    I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma cher ami-o
    So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
    Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou

    This always reminds me of Christmas Eve.  One of the greatest Christmas recordings ever!

  9. T.... R....

    I was born in 1956. I remember this song and the Chipmunks.  She and this song meant "Christmas" to me.

    T.... R....

    Terrell Robinson I felt the same way with
    "Christmas as I knew it" & "Christmas Spirit" by Johnny Cash.
    My parents would play that & Gregorian chants on the way to mass when I was a boy.
