Rosy cheeks and turned up nose and curly hair
I'm raving 'bout my baby now
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there
Don't want to live without her
I love her goodness knows
I wrote a song about her and here's the way it goes
Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place, Baby face
My poor heart is jumpin', you sure have started somethin'
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face
When you were a baby not so long ago
You must have been the cutest thing
I can picture you at ev'ry baby show
Just winnin' ev'ry ribbon with your sweet baby way
Say, honest I ain't fibbin', you'd win 'em all today
Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place, Baby face
My poor heart is jumpin', you sure have started somethin'
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face

As recorded by BOBBY DARIN:
Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There ain't nobody can ever take your place, aah, you baby face
My poor heart's jumpin', aaahhhh, you started somethin'
Baby face, well I'm up in heaven when I'm in your, your fond embrace
Yeah, I didn't need no shove, 'cause I just fell, fell in love
With your pretty, pretty baby face
Aahhh, let's twist awhile....
(Instrumental Break)
Aahhh, Baby Face, you know you got the cutest baby face
There'll never be nobody to take your place, you baby face
You got my two knee's knockin', you ain't the girl with the hole in
your stockin'
But your baby face, I'm in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
Yeah, I never need no shove, 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty, pretty, pretty baby face
Aaahhhh, ooh-wah-woh, ooh-wah-woh.......FADE
