            You ask me why I'm always teasing you, 
            You hate to have me call you pretty baby. 
            I really thought that I was pleasing you, 
            For you're just a baby to me. 

            Your cunning little dimples and your baby stare, 
            Your baby talk and baby walk and curly hair; 
            And that is why I'm sure that I will 
            Always love you best of all. 

            Everybody loves a baby, that's why I'm in love with you, 
            Pretty baby, pretty baby, 
            And I'd like to be your sister,
            brother, dad, and mother, too, 
            Pretty baby, pretty baby, 
            Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love, 
            And we'll cuddle all the time. 
            Oh, I want a lovin' baby, and it might as well be you, 
            Pretty baby of mine. 

            Your mother says you were the cutest kid; 
            No wonder, dearie, that I'm wild about you. 
            And all the cunning things you said and did. 
            Why, I love to fondly recall, 
            And just like Peter Pan, it seems you'll always be 
            The same sweet, cunning little baby dear to me 
            And that is why I'm sure that I will 
            Always love you best of all. 

            Everybody loves a baby, that's why I'm in love with you, 
            Pretty baby, pretty baby, 
            And I'd like to be your sister,
            brother, dad, and mother, too, 
            Pretty baby, pretty baby, 
            Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love, 
            And we'll cuddle all the time. 
            Oh, I want a lovin' baby, and it might as well be you, 
            Pretty baby of mine.
