Lyrics
Hey! Pretty baby, don't you pass me by
Hey! Pretty baby, don't you pass me by
You've got warm ruby lips
And a frantic look in your eyes
Oh, God, standing here on a corner
Don't you think I'm a bum?
I've got full bits in my pocket
And I hate papina rum
Hey, pretty baby, don't you pass me by
You've got soft ruby lips
And a frantic look in your eyes
Ain't no use acting hanky
And keep on walking down the street
'Cause I'll catch up with you later
And you be drinking sneaky peed
Hey! Pretty baby, don't you pass me by
'Cause I'll dig you later
In the sweet, sweet, bye and bye
Writer(s): Phil Moore, Russ Jones
