Baby Doll Lyrics

Music: Harry Warren
Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
Premiere: 1952


Verse:

To say I'm fond of you would merely be an attitude,
To say you're wonderful would be a platitude;
And so to Santa Claus I owe eternal gratitude
For leaving you beneath my Christmas tree.

Male chorus:

Baby Doll, you beautiful Baby Doll,
Let's go home and tell your mother
That you found a baby brother.
I'm takin' you off the shelf
And showin' you off myself;
Can't you see it now?
I'm takin' you walkin'
Holding your parasol;
Ah, honey, there's no use talkin'
You're a beautiful Baby Doll.

Female chorus:

Baby Doll, you beautiful Baby Doll,
Let's go home and tell my mother
That I found a baby brother.
I'm takin' you off the shelf
And showin' you off myself;
Can't you see it now?
You're takin' me walkin'
Holding my parasol;
Ah, honey, there's no use talkin'
You're a beautiful Baby Doll.
