Whose Baby Are You? 1920 'The Night Boat'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Mar 2005

[He:] When talking to a little girl like you,
I feel so overgrown away up here alone,
all alone, I can't explain exactly what I mean
The idea's leave my bean, when I think maybe
I am talking to a baby.

Whose baby are you dear,
whose baby are you?
Whose little girl who loves ev'ry curl,
who'll own your smile
as you walk down the aisle with him
who'll I give the ring to,
who'll swear to be true blue
who is saving up his dough
to buy a little bungalow
whose lovey love, whose honey bug,
whose baby are you.

Whose baby are you dear,
whose baby are you?
Whose 'ittle boy whose his mama's joy,
who'll own your smile
as you walk down the aisle with her
who'll you give the ring to,
who'll swear to be true blue
who has bought a little book,
and pumpkin pie will learn to cook
whose lovey love, whose honey bug,
whose baby are you.

[She:] Just like the Woolworth Building
you must be
what a catastrophe. If you should fall on me,
little me, though 'way up in the sky
above me there,
what do I care though dignified you may be,
Still at heart you're just a baby.

Whose baby are you dear,
whose baby are you?
Whose little girl who loves ev'ry curl,
who'll own your smile
as you walk down the aisle with him
who'll I give the ring to,
who'll swear to be true blue
who is saving up his dough
to buy a little bungalow
whose lovey love, whose honey bug,
whose baby are you.

Whose baby are you dear,
whose baby are you?
Whose 'ittle boy whose his mama's joy,
who'll own your smile
as you walk down the aisle with her
who'll you give the ring to,
who'll swear to be true blue
who has bought a little book,
and pumpkin pie will learn to cook
whose lovey love, whose honey bug,
whose baby are you.
