As recorded by DICK POWELL:

Lots of little questions used to bother me
I know all the answers now
I know every little wherefore
Every little why and how

I have no diploma, I have no degree
From a university
But I really didn't miss much
As long as I know this much

White is black and black is white
For no good reason that I know
Only that my baby says it's so

Night is day and day is night
The moon at noon is all aglow
Just because my baby says it's so

I caught her kissin' someone else
To my confusion
She said what I saw
Was an optical illusion

I was wrong and she was right
And as I said a while ago
That's because my baby says it's so

(Orchestral Break)

White is black and black is white
For no good reason that I know
Only that my baby says it's so

Night is day and day is night
the moon at noon is all aglow
Just because my baby says it's so

I caught her kissin' someone else
To my confusion
She said what I saw
Was an optical illusion

I was wrong and she was right
And as I said a while ago
That's because my baby says it
That's because my baby says it
That's because my baby says it's so-oh-oh
That's because my baby says it's so-oh!

'CAUSE MY BABY SAYS IT'S SO

as recorded by
Bunny Berigan & his Orch   
April 1st 1937 New York



White is black and black is white,
For no good reason that I know,
Only that my baby says it's so!
Night is day and day is night,
And moon at noon is all aglow,
Just because my baby says it's so!

I caught her kissin' someone else;  To my confusion,
She said what I saw was an optical illusion!

I was wrong and she was right,
And as I said a while ago,
That's because my baby says it's so!
