Happy girlie, you will see,
I've got someone nice, oh, gee!
Oh, joy, what bliss!
Just the treasure that I need,
Pure as gold and guaranteed,
Is he handsome? Yes, indeed!
I found a new baby,
A sweet honey boy,
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!
His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave,
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!
I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall,
I found a new baby,
A new baby, that's all!
I found a new baby,
A sweet honey boy,
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!
His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave,
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!
I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall,
I found a new baby,
A new baby, that's all!
