Ev'rybody look at me, happy fellow you will see
I've got someone nice, Oh Gee! Oh, what joy, what bliss
Just the treasure that I need, pure as gold and guaranteed
Is she pretty? Yes, indeed, let me tell you this
I've found a new baby, I've found a new girl
My fashion plate baby, has got me in a whirl
Her new kind of lovin's done made me her slave
Her sweet turtle-dovin' is all that I crave
Sweetest miss, with a kiss full o' bliss, can't resist somehow
Tells me lies, but she's wise, naughty eyes, mesmerise I vow, and how
I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall
I've found a new baby, new baby that's all
I don't care if people think that I am a crazy gink
If love puts me on the blink, I'll just yell, Hey, Hey
'Cause I'm wild about my queen, sweetest girl I've ever seen
She's red hot ,that's what I mean, listen while I say
I've found a new baby, I've found a new girl
My fashion plate baby, has got me in a whirl
Her new kind of lovin's done made me her slave
Her sweet turtle-dovin' is all that I crave
Sweetest miss, with a kiss full o' bliss, can't resist somehow
Tells me lies, but she's wise, naughty eyes, mesmerise I vow, and how
I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall
I've found a new baby, new baby that's all

As recorded by ETHEL WATERS:
Ev'rybody look at me
Happy girlie you will see
I've got someone nice, oh, gee!
Oh what joy, what bliss
Just the treasure that I need
Pure as gold and guaranteed
Is he handsome? Yes, indeed!
Let me tell you this
I've found a new baby, a sweet honey boy
My fashion plate baby, has thrilled me with joy
His new way of lovin has made me his slave
His sweet turtle-dovin' is all that I crave
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist somehow
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes, mesmerise I vow, and how
I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall
I've found a new baby, new baby that's all

I've found a new baby, a sweet honey boy

His new way of lovin has made me his slave
His sweet turtle-dovin' is all that I crave
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist somehow
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes, mesmerise I vow, and how
I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall
I've found a new baby, new baby that's all

I'VE FOUND A NEW BABY (Morgana King)
as recorded by Morgana King
July 1958
I've found a new baby,
I've found a new boy,
That sweet-talkin' baby
Is my pride and joy!
His new way of squeezin'
Is all that I crave,
His new way of teasin'
Is makin' me rave!
Got a kiss
Full of bliss,
Tops my list,
Can't resist him now!
Tells me lies,
But he's wise,
Dreamy eyes hypnotise,
I vow and how!
I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall!
I've found a new baby,
Found new baby, that's all!
