I Found A Million Dollar Baby 1931

Love comes along
like a popular song,
any time or anywhere at all.
Rain or sunshine
spring or fall,
you never know
when it may say "Hello"
in a very unexpected place.
For example take my case:

It was a lucky April shower
it was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
around a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china
and when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
until the crowd got wise.
Incident'ly if you should run
into a shower
just step inside my cottage door.
And meet the million dollar baby
from the five and ten cent store.

It was a lucky April shower
it was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
around a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china
and when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
until the crowd got wise.
Incident'ly if you should run
into a shower
just step inside my cottage door.
And meet the million dollar baby
from the five and ten cent store.

Love used to be quite a stranger to me
didn't know a sentimental word;
Thoughts of kissing seem absurd.
Then came a change
and you may think it strange,
but the world became a happy tune
since that April afternoon.

It was a lucky April shower
it was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
around a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china
and when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
until the crowd got wise.
Incident'ly if you should run
into a shower
just step inside my cottage door.
And meet the million dollar baby
from the five and ten cent store.

It was a lucky April shower
it was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
around a million dollar baby
in a five and ten cent store.
She was selling china
and when she made those eyes
I kept buying china
until the crowd got wise.
Incident'ly if you should run
into a shower
just step inside my cottage door.
And meet the million dollar baby
from the five and ten cent store.
