Tonight's My Night With Baby 1926 JPitt-Payne

I combed my hair
and brushed my hat,
I even washed my dog and cat,
tonight's my night with Baby.
The onions that I like so much
for weeks I haven't dared to touch
tonight's my night with Baby.
I call sweetie "Baby"
and here's the reason why,
ev'ry time we cuddle
it works just like a lullaby
I hid the parson in the hall
so he'll be there if I should call
tonight's my night with Baby.

I got my Ma and got my Pa
and put them in my motor car,
tonight's my night with Baby.
And I said to my driver Jack:
"Just drive and drive
and don't come back."
tonight's my night with Baby.
We've seen ev'ry movie
held hands between the acts
but home in Baby's parlour
why, we don't pay amusement tax.
I fixed the lights at half past ten
they'll all blow out, oh boy and then
tonight's my night with Baby.

Is she says "yes" then I'll say "yes"
If she days "no"
I'll still say "yes"
tonight's my night with Baby.
If she says "do" then I'll say "do"
if she says "don't"
I'll still say "do"
tonight's my night with Baby.
We'll move to the North Pole
I know that we're not wrong,
You know at the North Pole
the nights up there are six months long.
I think she likes me,
hope I'm right,
but if I'm wrong
I'll know tonight
tonight's my night with Baby.

I've got my small Rotis Ford right here
I've changed my mind,
I've changed my gear
tonight's my night with Baby.
I've learnt the proper driver's touch
she'll know when I release my clutch!
tonight's my night with Baby.
I'll drive her to distraction
although I shall not race,
The p'lice will not take action,
it's up to me to set the pace,
Although of course
we may break down
we'll do it somewhere far from town
tonight's my night with Baby.

Oh! Bless the girl
and oh! bless me,
and bless the Royal Familee
tonight's my night with Baby.
I just can't wait
I just can't think
I'm off my food
I'm off my drink
tonight's my night with Baby.
Love sends a fellow balmy,
it makes him skatty quite,
the whole Salvation Army can't
make him want to see the light.
They save both men and girls, maybe,
they need save only one for me
tonight's my night with Baby.

I've bought a flow'r
I've bought a ring,
At Woolworth's, they keep ev'rything,
tonight's my night with Baby.
I've also bought a Thermos flask
I've filled it full of
need you ask?
tonight's my night with Baby.
I've bought a cocktail shaker
I've bought some Sunlight Soap
I've seen the Undertaker
we shan't want him just yet I hope!
Oh! I'm an optimist, I am,
I very nearly bought a doll,
tonight's my night with Baby.
