Verse:

Ros -y cheeks and turn'd up nose and curl -y hair,

I'm rav -ing 'bout my ba -by now.

Pret -ty lit -tle dim -ples here and dim -ples there,

Don't want to live with -out her, I love her good -ness knows.

I wrote a song a -bout her, And here's the way it goes:

 

Chorus:

Ba -by Face, You've got the cut -est lit -tle

Ba -by Face, There's not an -oth -er one could

Take your place, Ba -by Face,

My poor heart is jump -in, You sure have start -ed some -thin',

Ba -by Face, I'm up in heav -en when I'm

In your fond em -brace,

I did -n't need a shove, 'Cause I just fell in love,

With your pret -ty Ba -by Face.
