Rocking Chair Lyrics


All she ever wanted
When the day turned indigo
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now, the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me back and make me be there
She said her head don't move the same way
That her hand usually does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders

Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me back and make me be there
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me back and make me be there
Rock me here, rock me there
Rock me in my rockin’ chair
Rock me here, rock me there
Rock me in my rockin’ chair
Rock me here, rock me there
Rock me in my rockin’ chair
Rock me here, rock me there
Rock me in my rockin’ chair
Oh, my oh my, rock me
Tender in the night air
Za va ba, za ba bi ya
Ca va pas, za ba bi ya
Romeo Boyz, they'll be dancing
With the Cha Cha Girlz
Za va ba, za ba bi ya
Ca va pas, za ba bi ya
Romeo Boyz, they'll be dancing
With the Cha Cha Girlz
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me back and make me be there
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh, my rockin’ chair
Rock me back and make me be there

Cyndi Lauper (born Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper on June 22, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York, United States), is a Grammy Award-winning singer (who possesses a four-octave vocal range) and Emmy Award-winning film, television and theatre actress. She was lead singer of the rockabilly band Blue Angel before her rise to fame as a solo singer. Her melodic voice and wild costumes have come to epitomize the 1980s and New Wave — the decade and genre in which she first came to fame.

Born in Queens, New York to Swiss German-American Fred Lauper and Sicilian Italian-American Catrine Dominique, she began her career in a cover band, but soon began performing her own songs (though she almost quit singing altogether due to strained vocal chords in 1977). By 1980 she'd released a rockabilly album on Polydor with the band Blue Angel. Despite much critical acclaim, the album "went lead," as Lauper says, and the band split as Lauper filed for bankruptcy.

In 1983 she started dating her manager David Wolff with whom she released She's So Unusual, a worldwide hit album which made Lauper a household name. A mixture of teen-friendly pop-rock and edgier, almost punky sounds, the album's biggest hit, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, quickly established itself as a female anthem. Lauper won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards of 1984 for her work on the album. Lauper was the first female artist to have four consecutive Hot 100 Top 5 hits from one album.

Subsequent albums (such as True Colors, A Night to Remember, Hat Full of Stars) did not sell as well, but Lauper remains active to the present day and still retains a very strong fan base.

Lauper's latest album Memphis Blues was released in June 2011, premiering at #1 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart where it remained for 14 consecutive weeks. The album also reached #26 on the Billboard Top 200, and was later named the Billboard Blues Album of the year, also earning Lauper a Grammy nomination. This brought her total Grammy nominations to 13 with one win.
