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:

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 win 'em all today.

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!
