I've got some talk for you
You'll find sweet thing with a good look
As I've got some talk for
Hey baby
You're just the type to bring
Out my attributes and my good looks
Just take a night like this
Or any night at all
It's a good night for me to call
A lovely night of bliss
On any cloud of white
Just sittin' and watching
The blues go by
Hey baby
What can the number be
That makes your telephone ring
I've got some talk for you
Just take a night like this

It's a good night for me to call
A lovely night of bliss
On any cloud of white
Just sittin' and watching
The blues go by
Hey baby

Hey baby,
C'mon an' talk to me
C'mon baby, don't be mean
Yes, baby-
Yes, baby-
