BABS
Fred E Ahlert (m) Joe Young (l)

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio  
March 14th 1941


Babs,
With the funny little doodabs;
In the finery,
That's the finest she,
That's Babs!
Oh, my lovin' little honey,
Babs,
Steppin' in out of new cabs;
Just wait and see,
That's the finest she,
That's Babs!

All the girls say she's got nothin',
Don't you think that's jealousy?
All the boys say she's got nothin',
Nothin' but T N T!

Take a look at that Babs,
With the funny little doodabs,
Just wait and see,
That's the finest she,
That's Babs!

Papa, papa, won't you hear my plea?
Babs is the only little girl for me!
Babs, Babs, Babs, Babs,
She's a solid little chicken but she can't be had!

Babs,
Oh Babs with the sweet and charmin' manner;
With a smile so neat,
Yes she's so discreet,
That's Babs!
Being that 
She's a lassie
That's so classy!

Babs,
With the gay and lovely glamour;
If she looked my way
I would shout, "Hurray!",
That's Babs!

All the girls say she's got nothin',
Don't you think that's jealousy?
All the boys say she's got nothin',
Nothin' but T N T!

Babs, oh Babs,
Lookin' at sophistication;
Confidentially,
She's the only one for me,
Confidentially,
She is the only one for me!
