Dementia

Rock-a-bye baby in the treetops
Play hide-and-go-seek with me
We're a great big family
 But I'm a child no more
When sleeping I snore
I've counted to ten 
And cried
And died
At the same time I lied
Kitty and Benny sitting in a tree
Happy as can be
Rock-a-bye baby in the treetops
The wind's gonna blow me
The tree's gonna throw me
And down will I fall
So down will come baby
Cradle and all

I'm curious to understand this poem better. May I trouble you to explain?
