Ev'rybody loves a baby,
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby.

And I'd like to be your sister, brother,
Dad and mother, too,
Pretty baby, pretty baby.

Won't you come and let me rock you
In my cradle of love?
We'll cuddle all the time.

Oh I want a loving baby
And it might as well be you
Pretty baby of mine

Ev'rybody loves a baby,
That's why I'm in love with you
Pretty baby, pretty baby.

And I'd like to be your family
Aunts and uncles, cousins too
Pretty baby, pretty baby.

Won't you come and let me rock you
In my cradle of love?
We'll cuddle all the time.

I want a baby,
And I'm counting on you
You're my honey
You are my daddy
Thats why its gotta be you
