The old rocking chair is baby's boat
Language: English 
The old rocking chair is baby's boat, 
Adrift on a dreamland sea; 
And baby and I are the crew afloat, 
All cozy and snug are we. 
We rock and hum a crooning song, 
Like a wind in the sails at sea, 
But pirate dreams, before very long 
Capture baby and boat and me.
