(First words replaced by trumpet notes)
***, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now.
Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now.
By the way, by the way
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now.
--- Instrumental ---
By the way, by the way
When we run into the preacher I'll say
I'll say yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now, Mmm...
Yes Sir, That's My Baby
