Baby-O
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby-O
You I dig
Like-a the most
Ooh, really big

Love the shape
Of your brow
Love your ooh
Love your ah, love your wow

Baby-O
Tell me true
Could you go
For me too?

Cross your heart
If it's so
That you're my
Hope to die baby-O

Baby-O
You won't quit
Like I mean
This is it

Love your mad
Swingin' pad
You know what
You're a nut and I'm glad

Ah baby-O
May I fly
In a plane
Through the sky?

Writing words
Just to show
That you're my
Ten mile high baby-O

Baby-O
Sugarplum
You are so
Yummy yum

Plus to wit
And whereas
Tres Jolie E.T.C.
And all o' that jazz

Ah, baby-O
There are laws
So I wrote
To old Santa Claus

Under my
Mistletoe
Just for one, please leave one
Baby-O

O-baby, O-baby




Baby-O
Nobody honey, yeah
