Rosy cheeks and turn'd up nose

"Baby face"

Rosy cheeks and turn'd up nose and curly hair,
I'm raving 'bout my baby now,
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there;
Don't want to live without her,
I love her goodness knows,
I wrote a song about her
And here's the way it goes:

Baby face
You've got the cutest little
Baby face.
There's not another one could
Take your place,
Baby face.
My poor heart is jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Baby face.
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your fond embrace;
I didn't need a shove
'Cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face.

When you were a baby not so long ago,
You mus have been the cutest thing.
I can picture you at ev'ry baby show
Just winnin'every ribbon with your sweet baby way.
Say, honest I ain't fibbin', you'd win 'em al today.

Baby face
You've got the cutest little
Baby face.
There's not another one could
Take your place,
Baby face.
My poor heart is jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Baby face.
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your fond embrace;
I didn't need a shove
'Cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face.
