I’ve kissed babies with brown eyes
Roll ‘em up and then down eyes
But I never, no I never,
I never kissed a baby like you

I’ve kissed babies with blue eyes
Goo-goo-googly goo eyes
But I never, no I never,
I never kissed a baby like you

Now I always thought those kisses
That I used to get were grand
Till you handed me a sample
Of a brand new kind of brand

I’ve kissed babies that chilled me
I’ve seen glances that thrilled me
But I never, no I never,
I never kissed a baby like you
