[Scatting]
[Verse 1]
Right here pretty baby
Sit down on your mama's knee
Mmm, I wanna tell everybody
How you've been sending me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, if that's your secret, well, you can keep it to yourself
'Cause if you tell me, you can bet I might tell someone else
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I never loved, and I hope I never will
Because a loving proposition, yes, it will get somebody killed
Come on, lead me, pretty baby, 'cause you know I can be led
Squeeze me pretty baby, yes, until my face turns cherry red
Right here, right here, pretty baby
Sit down on your mama's knee
Squeeze me, squeeze me, squeeze me, baby
Until my face turns cherry red
