I've found a new baby

by Lester Young

on Lester Young Trio (1994)

Everybody look at me
Happy girlie, you will see
I've got someone nice, oh, gee!
Oh, joy, what bliss!

Just the treasure that I need
Pure as gold and guaranteed
Is he handsome? Yes, indeed!
Let me tell you this:

I found a new baby
A sweet honey boy
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!

His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!

Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!

I don't mean maybe
I just had to fall
I found a new baby
A new baby, that's all!

I found a new baby
A sweet honey boy
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!

His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!

Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!

I don't mean maybe
I just had to fall
I found a new baby
A new baby, that's all!
