SAY, WHO IS THAT BABY DOLL?
(Al Turk / Maceo Pinkard)


Cliff Edwards - 1925
Sam Lanin's Ipana Troubadours (vocal: Billy Jones) - 1925


Jack went out for a walk with his best pal
And while out for a walk, he spied a gal
Her face was beautiful, and so was her style
He grabbed his buddy's collar
And then began to holler

Say, look at that baby
Hey, look at that baby
Say, look at that baby now
I never knew they made them like this
She's what I call a bundle of bliss

And is she slick, look at that smile and cute boyish bob
Quick, hurry or I'll be crushed in the mob
My poor heart beats just like a drum now
We've gotta meet somehow
Say, look at that baby doll

(Instrumental Break)

Say, who's that baby
Whoever she may be
She's gonna be mine, I know
I'll walk right up beside her and see
I'll say that she took something from me

I'll have her pinched
Have a policeman take her to jail
Then 'll come back and I'll go her bail
They'll wonder how I ever copped her
I'd love to adopt her
Say, who's that baby doll
