Remember the tune that your Daddy would play
when a pretty balloon make you happy and gay, oh Cindy.
Right on his knees you were singing the song
feeling really at ease, knowing where you belonged, oh Cindy.
He couldn't stop you getting older,
watched you growing to his shoulder,
dreaming of his sunny days with Cindy.
But he felt with understanding
sunny days might soon be ending
when Rock'n'Roll would break into your life.
Rock'n'Roll will change your baby
to a lovely little lady,
someone else will come and call her Cindy.
Rock'n'Roll will see her dancing,
waking up and start romancing
till the day when she will go away.
Now you're grown up with a girl of your own,
try to give a good home to Cindy.
Play her a song as your Daddy would do
to make her happy and strong
whenever she's blue, your Cindy.
You can stop her getting older,
watch her growing to your shoulder,
dreaming of your sunny days with Cindy.
But you feel with understanding
sunny days might soon be ending
when Rock'n'Roll will break into her life.
Rock'n'Roll will change your baby
to a lovely little lady,
someone else will come and call her Cindy.
Rock'n'Roll will see her dancing,
waking up and start romancing
till the day when she will go away.
