2.- Lyrics

Pretty little baby 

Pretty little baby 

Pretty little baby, you say that maybe

You'll be thinkin' of me and try to love me

Pretty little baby, I'm hoping that you do

You can ask the flowers, I sit for hours

Tellin' all the bluebirds, the bill and coo birds

Pretty little baby, I'm so in love with you

(Chorus 1)

Now is just the time, while both of us are young

Puppy love must have its day

Don't you know it's much more fun to love

While the heart is young and gay?

(Chorus 2)

Meet me at the car hop or at the pop shop

Meet me in the moonlight or in the daylight

Pretty little baby, I'm so in love with you 

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2)

Pretty little baby

I said, pretty little baby

Oh, now pretty little baby

I said
