My Old Timey Baby
Composer(s): Dan Hicks
Performer(s): Dan Hicks



Dan: My, you girls are sure lookin' nice tonight
Girls: Thanks, Dan
Dan: Yeah, you remind me of a girl who lives in my apartment complex
Girls: Oh, Yeah?
Dan: Really 
I don't know where she does her shoppin', but man what style!

She's a bit old timey, but that's alright with me
She wears a dress of velvet that hangs below her knees, her knees
She's a bit old-fashioned, as all the world can see
The cameo she wears upon her bosom, puts me in ecstasy, ecstasy
Yes she's her own grandmother, that's what they're telling me
But my old timey baby is swell enough for me, you see...

She plays her old victrola
The lamp is low, kerosene you know
We lie upon her bed
The patchwork quilt beneath her head
Or while her wheel is spinning
She sews some lace or we embrace
Or when we go out strolling, the world can plainly see
That my old timey baby is swell enough, she's young enough
She's hip enough for me...
