How Do I Look? 1933

I've been down town shopping
spent my next month's pay
I kept those sales girls hopping
to doll me up this way.
My bank book's lost its balance
the stuff came C.O.D.
It left me flat
but what of that?
Here's what bothers me.

How do I look?
I'm all dressed up for my baby
Wish I could
look as good
as my baby looks to me.
How do I rate
with this new bait for my baby
Tell me quick
will I click
with my all important "He"
When I chose these brand new clothes
The gang said I was nifty
But if he should disagree
I'll sell the works for eighteen fifty.
How do I look
will I get by with my baby
Wish I could
Look as good
as my baby looks to me.

How do I look?
I'm all dressed up for my baby
Wish I could
look as good
as my baby looks to me.
How do I rate
with this new bait for my baby
Tell me quick
will I click
with my all important "He"
When I chose these brand new clothes
The gang said I was nifty
But if he should disagree
I'll sell the works for eighteen fifty.
How do I look
will I get by with my baby
Wish I could
Look as good
as my baby looks to me.
