Everybody look at me, Happy girlie, you will see, I've got someone nice, oh, gee! Oh, 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 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 mesmerize, I vow and how! I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall I found a new baby, A new baby, that's all! I 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 mesmerize, I vow and how! I don't mean maybe, I just had to fall, I found a new baby, A new baby, that's all
