HEY BABY
(Duke Ellington)

Rosemary Clooney
with Duke Ellington & his Orchestra
recorded 1956


Hey baby,
I've got some talk for you!
You old fine sweet thing with the good looks,
I've got some talk for you!

Hey baby,
You're just the type to bring
Out my attributes and my good looks,
My daily everything!

Just take a night like this, or any night at all
Is a good night for me to call!
A lovely night of bliss on any cloud up high,
Just sittin' and watchin' the blues go by!

Hey baby,
What can the number be
That will make your telephone ring-ring?
I've got some talk for you!
