- I Found A Million Dollar Baby
- Bing Crosby
-
- It was composed by the late Harry Warren, whom I knew the last several
- years of his life, when he was a member of the Pacific Pioneer
- Broadcasters and often was a guest at their luncheons. Harry wrote it
- in 1931, I believe; and that was the year that Crosby recorded it on
- Brunswick and it was one of his first really big hits. I have known the
- lyrics by heart for over fifty years, and here they are from Bing Crosby's
- record:
-
- It was a lovely April shower,
- It was a most convenient door,
- I found a million dollar baby
- In a five and ten cent store.
- The rain continued for an hour
- I hung around for three or four
- Around the million dollar baby
- In the five and ten cent store.
-
- She was selling china
- And when she made those eyes,
- I kept buying china
- Until the crowd got wise.
-
- Incidentally,
- If you should run into a shower,
- Well step inside my cottage door,
- And meet the million dollar baby
- From the five and ten cent store
-
- (Bridge:)
- Love comes along like a popular song
- Anytime or anywhere at all,
- Rain or sunshine,
- Spring or fall.
- Say, you'll never know when it may say hello
- In a very unexpected place,
- For example, take my case.
