BABY ROO
(Howard Greenfield / Neil Sedaka)

as recorded by Connie Francis
1961


Who's got a heart as big as a whale?
Who draws a crowd when he steps on a scale?
Aha-ha, he's my little honey, my turtle dove,
He's my private mountain of love,
And do I love him?  Yea I do,
My Baby Roo!

Two chubby cheeks and three little chins,
When I wanna hug him don't know where to begin!
Aha-ha, he's got a shape just like a rubber ball,
Five feet wide and only five feet tall,
But do I love him?  Yea I do,
My Baby Roo!

We go out for dinner 'bout a half past nine,
He's eatin' up a storm and everything is fine.
But then when the clock strikes a quarter to ten,
My Baby Roo gets hungry all over again!

Well I could never give my heart to no other one,
'Cause he's my roly-poly little ton of fun.
Keep your Frankie, keep your Teddy and the others you find,
'Cause my Baby Roo is all of them combined,
And do I love him?  Yea I do,
My Baby Roo!

Keep your Frankie, keep your Teddy and the others you find,
'Cause my Baby Roo is all of them combined,
And do I love him?  Yea I do,
My Baby Roo!
One more time now, Baby Roo,
You're my honey, Baby Roo,
You're my sugar, Baby Roo,
Come on a-closer, Baby Roo...
