My Chilly Baby 1900

I'll bet no fellow in this town
has got a gal like mine,
she's just as sweet as honey,
she intoxicates like wine,
But there's something queer about her
that I never can explain,
and that's the very thing you know,
that gives this coon a pain,
she's so frappé'ed,
she's so frosty,
Hully geero
she's below zero

My chilly baby
I love her so,
an' why I love her
I do not know,
fo' she holds me at arms length,
an' yo' bet she's got de strength,
still I love her,
yes I love my chilly baby...

My chilly baby
I love her so,
an' why I love her
I do not know,
fo' she holds me at arms length,
an' yo' bet she's got de strength,
still I love her,
yes I love my chilly baby...

My baby is so chilly
when I'se courtin' her at night,
that when I says I love you,
she just shivers with delight,
when I says goodnight to her,
then her tears fall just like snow,
and when I kiss them ruby lips,
they feels like they was froze,
she's so North Pole
She's so heatproof,
she's so icy,
and that's not nicy.

My chilly baby
I love her so,
an' why I love her
I do not know,
fo' she holds me at arms length,
an' yo' bet she's got de strength,
still I love her,
yes I love my chilly baby...

My chilly baby
I love her so,
an' why I love her
I do not know,
fo' she holds me at arms length,
an' yo' bet she's got de strength,
still I love her,
yes I love my chilly baby...
