Lyrics:
Where Were You Baby? - (Josh White) As recorded by Donmclean I looked through every barroom And I searched from coast to coast You were scarce as low-cost housing Baby when I needed you most And where were you baby, when my heart went out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt Now I peeked through fancy boudoirs And I peeked through window grates I only saw Republicans, romancing Southern states And where were you baby, when my heart went out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt Now I tried to replace you with a streetwalker named Desire But prices up so high, hell I couldn't afford to try her It takes you my baby, baby, baby - to put my body out You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt But tonight I think I'm gonna take some good advice I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss Well I hope to do to her what her Papa does to us And we'll have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac And she'll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac And we'll have a little rye and we'll play a little gin We'll have another rye and we'll play another gin And then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow Have another rye just to make the conversation flow And then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin We'll have another rye and we'll tune some music in And then we'll have another gin.... And we'll play a little rye... And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high And so we'll turn the lights down low...... To keep the bulbs from getting hot And we'll play a little game called.. "Yes?".... "No!"... Why not? But tonight I think I'm gonna find me something swell So I can wake up in the morning... Miserable as hell Now when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake Come back soon cause, babe, think of what a gal like you could make Yes come back baby, baby, baby - don't ever say that we're through Cos this time, pretty baby.. I'd like to walk right out on you!
