                     Dm Bb G          A          Dm   Bb G A 
 Well your daddy's rich  and your momma's good looking
 
      Dm          Bb   G  A     Dm Bb G A 
 so hush little baby dont  you cry
 
 music under sax solo does same Dm-Bb-G-A and ends with the A-E-A riff.
 
 rest of lyrics go:
 One of these mornings
 You're gonna to wake up crying
 Then you'll spread your wings
 And you'll take to the sky
 
 But until that morning
 There's a'nothing can harm you
 With your daddy and mammy standing by
 
 ends with Dm
 
 and thats all! i hope this helps! i love this version and hopefully someone elso
 does and this is what
 they've been looking for their whole life. the Tornadoes lyrics are just a tad different.
