Lyrics
- Rosy cheeks and turn’d up nose and curly hair
I’m raving ’bout my baby now
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there
Don’t want to live without her
I love her goodness knows
I wrote a song about her
And here’s the way it goes
Chorus
Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face
There’s not another one could take your place
Baby face, my poor heart is jumpin’
You sure have started somethin’
Baby face, I’m up in heaven
When I’m in your fond embrace
I didn’t need a shove, ’cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face
- When you were a baby not so long ago
You must have been the cutest thing
I can picture you at ev’ry baby show
Just winnin’ ev’ry ribbon with your sweet baby way
Say, honest I ain’t fibbin’
You’d win ’em all today
