Lyrics
- Who’s that coming down the street?
Who’s that looking so petite?
Who’s that coming down to meet me here?
Who’s that you know who I mean
Sweetest “who” you’ve ever seen
I could tell her miles away from here
Chorus
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby
No, Sir, don’t mean “maybe”
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby now
Yes, ma’am, we’ve decided
No, ma’am, we won’t hide it
Yes, ma’am, you’re invited now
By the way, by the way
When we reach the preacher I’ll say
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby
No, Sir, don’t mean “maybe”
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby now
- Who’s the “who” I rave about?
Who do I feel blue without
In the Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall
What was I just “gonna” say
I forget, but any way
Here’s the most important thing of all
Chorus
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby
No, Sir, don’t mean “maybe”
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby now
Well, well, “lookit” that baby
Do tell, don’t say “maybe”
Nell’s bells won’t she cause some row
Pretty soon, pretty soon,
We will hear that Lohengrin tune
Who for should she be sir
No one else but me sir
Yes, Sir, that’s my baby now
