As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW, 26th November 1926:


If you like your baby 
Like you like no baby
Kiss your little baby goodnight

If you want to make me happy
Then just take me in your arms
And hold me so tight

And when that dewy day is dawnin'
I'll be around to say good mornin', so, honey

If you want your baby
Like you want no baby
Kiss your little baby goodnight

Before we say goodnight, my sweetest sweet
It's not goodnight unless it's right
Then one thing always makes the night complete
I know it do and so do you, so, honey....

(Piano Solo)

It's nice to know how much we really care
How much we'd miss that goodnight kiss
Caresses make more sweethearts always share
A world of love, a world of bliss, oh, honey

If you like your baby 
Like you like your baby
Kiss your little baby goodnight, night, nighty-night

If you want to make me happy
Then just take me in your arms
And hold me so tight

And when that dewy day is dawnin'
I'll be around to say good mornin'

If you want your baby
Like you want no baby
Kiss your baby, goodnight baby, goodnight baby
Good, good, good little baby, goodnight

That's all!
