This playful 2-part arrangement intertwines two pentatonic partner songs. The lullaby Bye-lo, Baby-o functions as a sol-mi-la ostinato alongside the humorous Appalachian folk song, What’ll I Do with the Baby-o. Gaudette’s adapted lyrics offer ways to soothe a baby who won’t go to sleep:
 Wrap him up in calico, send him to his mammy-o.
 Tickle his chin, wiggle his toes, blow on his belly and touch his nose.
 Dance him north, dance him south, put a little binky in his mouth.
The energetic music offers 2nd-3rd grade students an experience of 16th-note patterns while remaining in a middle- to high-D octave range.
This is an upbeat piece suitable for any concert occasion. It is especially appropriate for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day celebrations.
