The Warmest Baby In The Bunch
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Joan Leslie; Sally Sweetland



You're well acquainted with the Highborn lady
You might have heard of Hot Tamale Sal
But there's a wench that makes them all look shady
You've got to take your hat off to dis gal

You'll all be dazzled when you see dis member
You'll think that you've been drinking nigger punch
The steam comes from her shoes in cold December
For she's the warmest baby in the bunch

When they see her coming, all dem wenches take a chill
Diamonds glist'nin' all around and style enough to kill
Her steady feller broke a crap game 
Down in Louisville
And buys her chicken ev'ry day for lunch

"Come Seben!" Dreamy eyes that sparkle
and she rolls them mighty cute
Colored gemmen say that lady cert'ny is a "beaut"
"Go broke," dat she's a hot potater 
She's a red hot radiator
She's the warmest baby in the bunch

The coons they all acknowledge she's a wizard
You'll cremate if around this gal you fool
Last January when we had a blizzard
She had to fan herself to take it cool

The pol'cy shops are broken by this hummer
She's luckier than a nigger with a hunch
She leads a life of everlasting summer
For she's the warmest baby in the bunch

When they see her coming, all dem wenches take a chill
Diamonds glist'nin' all around and style enough to kill
Her steady feller broke a crap game 
Down in Louisville
And buys her chicken ev'ry day for lunch
