YES SIR, THAT'S MY BABY
(Written by Gus Kahn / Walter Donaldson)

Frank Sinatra
Ricky Nelson


Yes sir, that's my baby 
No sir, I don't mean maybe 
Yes sir, that's my baby now 

Yes, ma'm, we've decided 
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it 
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now 

By the way, by the way 
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say 

Yes sir, that's my baby 
No sir, I don't mean maybe 
Yes sir, that's my baby now 

(instrumental interlude) 

By the way, by the way 
When we run into the preacher I'll say 

I'll say yes sir, that's my baby 
No sir, I don't mean maybe 
Yes sir, that's my baby now 

Mmm

Who's that comin' down the street?
Who's that lookin' so petite?
Who's that comin' down to meet me here?
Who's that you know who I mean,
Sweetest coo you've ever seen?
I could tell her miles away from here!

Yes sir, that's my baby,
No sir, don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now!
Yes, ma'm, we've decided,
No ma'am, we won't hide it 
Yes, ma'am, you're invited now 

By the way,
By the way,
When we reach the preacher I'll say, with feeling,
"Yes sir, that's my baby,
No sir, I don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now!".

By the way, by the way 
When we run into the preacher I'll say 

I'll say yes sir, that's my baby 
No sir, I don't mean maybe 
Yes sir, that's my baby now 

Yes sir, that's my baby,
No sir, don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now!
Well well, look at that baby,
You tell, don't say maybe,
Nell's Bells!  Won't she cause some row!

Pretty soon,
Pretty soon,
We will hear that Lohengrin tune.
Who for should she be, sir?
No-one else but me, sir!
Yes sir, that's my baby now!
