Verse:

Ros -y cheeks and turn'd up nose and curl -y hair

I'm rav -ing 'bout my ba -by now

Pret -ty lit -tle dim -ples here and dim -ples there

Don't want to live with -out her I love her good -ness knows

I wrote a song a -bout her And here's the way it goes:

 

Chorus:

Ba -by Face You've got the cut -est lit -tle

Ba -by Face There's not an -oth -er one could

Take your place. Ba -by Face

My poor heart is jump -in; You sure have start -ed some -thin'

Ba -by Face; I'm up in heav -en when I'm

In your fond em -brace,

I did -n't need a shove 'Cause I just fell in love

With your pret -ty Ba -by Face.
