I Found A Million Dollar Baby
Tony Scott and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
From a five an' ten cent store!
She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
The lady that I adore
She's the million dollar baby
From the five . . .
The five an' ten cent store!

The song "I Found A Million Dollar Baby" by Tony Scott and His Orchestra is a classic tune that tells a sweet story about a chance encounter with love. The opening lines of the song, "It was a lucky April shower, it was the most convenient door," sets the scene for the discovery of a hidden gem. The singer explains that they stumbled upon a "million-dollar baby" in a five and ten-cent store, which is a reference to a department store known for carrying inexpensive goods. Despite the unassuming location, the singer is smitten with this woman and can't help but keep buying china just to keep talking to her.
The song is filled with romantic imagery, with the rain serving as a metaphor for washing away the old and bringing in the new, the convenience store representing unexpected surprises, and the china being sold symbolizing fragility and beauty. The chorus, "Incidentally...if you should run into a shower, just step inside my cottage door, and meet the million-dollar baby from the five and ten cent store," is an invitation to see the world through the singer's eyes and experience the joy of discovering someone special.
Overall, the song is an optimistic and cheerful homage to the possibilities that can come from chance encounters and the beauty that can be found in unexpected places.
Line by Line Meaning
It was a lucky April shower
The rain that fell in April was fortunate
It was the most convenient door
The entrance was easily accessible
I found a million dollar baby
I discovered an amazing woman
In a five an' ten cent store!
In a store that sells cheap items
The rain continued for an' hour
The precipitation lasted for one hour
I hung around for three or four
I stayed there for a short while
Around a million dollar baby
In the vicinity of an attractive woman
She was sellin' china
She was working in the china department
An' when she made those eyes
And when she looked at me that way
I kept buyin' china
I continued to purchase dishware
Until the crowd got wise!
Until the other customers figured out what was happening
Incidentally . . .
By the way,
If you should run into a shower
If you happen to be caught in the rain
Just step inside my cottage door
Come inside my home
An' meet the million dollar baby
And meet the incredible woman
From a five an' ten cent store!
From the inexpensive shop
She's the million dollar baby
She's a priceless woman
The lady that I adore
The woman I cherish
