AFRICAN LULLABY
(Greaves)

as recorded by Eartha Kitt
with Henri Rene & his Orchestra
March 13th 1953 New York


All over Africa,
Each baby's ma and pa
Sings him a sleep song,
A "baby don't weep" song,
An African lullaby.

(Afrikaans?)

After he's played all day
And slumber time comes his way,
You'll see that manly little fella
Kiss his ma and tell her
Everythings okay!

(Afrikaans?)

Love mother brings him,
As she softly sings him
An African lullaby,
(Afrikaans?)
