Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You
King Cole Trio/Oscar Moore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love makes me treat you the way that I do,
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
There's nothing in this world too good
For a girl so good and true.
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee





Baby, ain't I good, to you?

Overall Meaning

The verses to King Cole Trio/Oscar Moore's song "Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" express the way that the singer treats their significant other out of love and affection. The first verse, "Love makes me treat you the way that I do, Gee baby, ain't I good to you? There's nothing in this world too good For a girl so good and true" speaks to the pride and admiration the singer has for their partner, acknowledging that they deserve excellent treatment.


The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer listing lavish gifts they have given their partner, including "a fur coat for Christmas, a diamond ring, a big Cadillac car, and everything." However, the singer circles back to the same question - "What makes me treat you the way that I do?" - emphasizing that their motivation comes from a place of love and care for their partner.


The repeated refrain of "Gee baby, ain't I good to you?" is both a rhetorical question and a statement of the singer's intentions. It implies that the singer believes they are treating their partner well and that they want their partner to acknowledge and appreciate their actions.


Overall, the song expresses a sense of love, admiration, and generosity in a relationship. It suggests that these qualities should be reciprocal, with both partners treating each other well and expressing gratitude for the love they share.

//////////////////////////////////////////
The Japanese commentary in this video is an image of the booklet that comes with the Japanese version of "Progressions: 100 Years Of Jazz Guitar(4-CD box set )".
It's wonderful that this "100 Years Of Jazz Guitar" has commentaries attached to all 75 tracks, and its Japanese translation are valuable materials, but unfortunately this Japanese version is completely limited. Due to production, the part released in 2006 was probably sold out and is currently difficult to obtain.
It's regrettable that this Japanese translation booklet, which is valuable for Japanese jazz guitar fans, is not well known. So I will publish a part of it on YouTube.
If this Japanese version is reprinted in the future, this publication will no longer be necessary. I hope that music fans will find it useful as an assistance until then.
