Getting the kids to bed can be a parent's worst nightmare, but Dwayne Johnson has a solution that does the trick with his 2-year-old daughter.

He gets back into his famous character Maui from "Moana."

On Sunday, the actor and retired professional wrestler shared another clip of himself singing the film's famous song, "You're Welcome," to get his daughter, Tia, to bed.

"And for the 1,927th time I will sing “You’re Welcome” to baby Tia as part of our nightly daddy/daughter negation to go to bed!" he captioned the video. "It. Never. Ends."

"She still has no idea that her daddy is actually, “Maui” from 'Moana,'" he continued, adding the hashtags "#nightlynegotiations" and "#bringitonbaby" to the post.

Johnson, who has three daughters, also reflected on how grateful he is to spend time in quarantine with his family.

"But truth is, spending all this time at home with my ladies has been a real silver lining blessing in this craziness we’re all experiencing," he wrote.

He also shared a video singing the jingle to Tia while teaching her how to wash her hands earlier this month. Tia turned 2 on April 17 so the family spent time celebrating together while quarantining.

Johnson shared a sweet note for his daughter on social media as well.

"[Heart] is full of gratitude for a beautiful birthday weekend with our lil’ 2 year old tornado of love, strength & wit, baby Tia," he captioned a shot of his youngest. "Spending every day, all day with my girls has been the best silver lining blessing during this challenging pandemic."

"Raising a birthday bottle of milk🥛and toasting Bop, Peppa Pig and a house full of estrogen," he added.
