My Baby Just Cares for Me - Nat King Cole Trio, Woody Herman, Jack Costanzo

As sung by Nat King Cole

Words by Gus Kahn and Music by Walter Donaldson

Sung in the file «Whoopee» by Eddie Cantor

A #4 hit for Ted Weems in 1930

A # 29 hit for the Hi-Los in 1954

My baby don’t care for shows, my baby don’t care for clothes

My baby just cares for me

My baby don’t care for furs and laces

My baby don’t care for high-toned places

My baby don’t care for rings or other expensive things

She’s sensible as can be

My baby don’t care who knows it

My baby just cares for me

(Instrumental interlude)

My baby’s no Crosby fan, Dick Tracy is not her man

My baby just cares for me

My baby don’t care for Mr. Tibbits

She’d rather have me around to kibbitz

Roy Rogers is not her style, and even Clark Gable’s smile

Is something that she can’t see

(Oh, you lucky so-and-so)

I wonder what’s wrong with baby

My baby just cares for me
