Kiss Your Baby Nice

Look, boy, your cockamamy style,
Why, it just gets me going when I see you smile;
Why are you so pleasing?
Oh, but you're teasing,
With your smiling and your winning way,
Me, 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:
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 got a buzzin' when I look at you;
I lose my sense and manner, too,
Why, you're so appealing,
It sets me reeling,
And starts me raving,
And has me saying;
Come kiss your pretty baby twice,
Come kiss your pretty baby nice!
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,
Why, it gives me such a tricky sensation to my fingertips;
I just got a buzzin' when I look at you;
I lose my sense, and my manner, too,
Why, you're so appealing,
It sets me reeling,
Starts me raving,
And has me saying;
Come kiss your pretty baby twice,
Come, darling, kiss your pretty baby nice!
