Ethel Waters
Kiss Your Pretty Baby Nice
[Verse]
Little boy, your fascinating style
Why, it just gets me going when I see you smile
Ooh why, you're so pleasing, oh, but you're teasing
With your smiling and your winning way
Gee, I don't like it when you fool and play
But I just simply have to have my way
Now I want some lovin' and some huggin'
So here is what I've got to say

[Chorus]
Oh, when I ask you for a kiss, just do it nice
Don't make your baby cry and ask for it twice
Those wonderful sips from your honey lips
Why, it gives me such a feeling to my fingertips
I just start a-buzzin' when I look at you
I lose my sense and manner too
Why, it comes a-stealin', it sets me reelin'
And starts me ravin', and has me sayin'
"Come kiss your pretty baby twice
Come kiss your pretty baby nice"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Now when I ask you for a kiss, oh, come and do it nice
Don't make your baby cry and ask for it twice
Why, those wonderful sips from your honey lips
Oh, it gives me such a creepy sensation to my fingertips
Oh, I start a-buzzin' when I look at you
I lose my sense and my manner too
Why, it comes a-stealin', it sets me reelin'
Starts me ravin', and has me sayin'
"Come kiss your pretty baby twice
Come [close and/darling] kiss your pretty baby nice"
