Where Were You Baby?

Where Were You Baby? – (Josh White)
As recorded by DonMclean
Now I’ve peeked through fancy boudoirs
Searched through window grates
But I only saw Republicans, romance and Southern states
And where were you baby, when my heart went out?
You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt
Now I’ve tried to replace you with a streetwalker named desire
But price is up so high, hell I couldn’t afford to try her
It takes you my baby to put my fire out
You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt
But tonight I think I’m gonna take some good advice
I’m gonna look around and find somebody that’s a really nice
Well perhaps a banker’s daughter and if her Papa’s a cuss
Well I hope to do to her what her Papa does to us
And we’ll have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac
And she’ll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac
And we’ll have a little rye and we’ll play a little gin
We’ll have another rye and we’ll play another gin
And then we’ll have another rye just to get a little blow
Have another rye just to make the conversations flow
And then we’ll have another rye and we’ll play a little gin
We’ll have another rye and we’ll tune some music in
And then we’ll have another gin…. and we’ll play a little rye…
And we’ll suddenly realize that we’re getting kind of high
And so we’ll turn the lights down low…… to keep the bulbs from getting hot
And we’ll play a little game called .. "Yes?"…."No!" …
Why not?
But tonight I think I’m gonna find me something swell
So I can wake up in the morning… miserable as hell
Now when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake
Come back soon cause think of what a gal like you could make
Yes come back baby don’t ever say that we’re through
Cos this time woman… I’d like to walk right out on you!
