Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t (Ma’ Baby)
[Vocals: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, both]
I got a gal who's always late
Anytime we have a date
But I love her, yes I love her
Mmm, he's gonna walk up to my gate
And see if he can get it straight
'Cause he wants her, he's gonna ask her
Is you is, or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
You's is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find
She's gone and made a change
Is you is, or is you ain't my baby?
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby, still my baby true?
Is you or is you ain't my baby, baby?
Baby boy, the way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
See here, who's been cuttin' me?
You's is still my baby, baby
Baby boy, it seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
Oh, blackout!
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find
She's gone and made a change, and took my change
Is you is, or is you ain't my baby?
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Maybe baby's found somebody
Is my baby still, my baby true?
