Lyrics
- Who’s that baby that I see
All dolled up like a Christmas tree?
Who’s that, what’s that coming down my way?
What’s her name? bet it’s Rose
‘Cause she’s sweet as the Rose that grows
I’d like to go right up to her and say
Chorus
Where’d you get those eyes?
Where’d you get those lips?
Where’d you get those dimples, honey?
Where’d you get that smile so sunny?
Those chin, those nose, those rosy cheeks
I’m gone, been gone, for weeks and weeks
How’d you grow so sweet?
How’d you grow so nice?
Where’d you get that new blue bonnet
With the doo-wack-e-doo-doos on it?
Please make me happy and put me wise
Where’d you get those great big eyes?
- I’ve been searching carefully
You’re the one that appeals to me
Maybe someday I’ll appeal to you
Seems I’ve lost my appetite
I just can’t sleep a wink at night
So, please don’t keep me guessing like you do
Chorus
Where’d you get those eyes?
Where’d you get those ears?
Where’d you get those what’s this, honey?
Makes me feel so, oh, so funny
Don’t eat, can’t eat, can’t sleep at night
Those charms, those arms, that hold me tight
Where’d you learn to hug?
Where’d you learn to kiss?
Every time you kiss me, sister
On my lips I find a blister
You’ve got me dizzy, I’m hypnotized
Where’d you get those great big eyes?
