Yes Sir, That's My Baby

Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]

(Frank Sinatra)



(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
