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,
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?
