It was a lucky april shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!

The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!

She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!

Incidentally . . .

If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
From a five an' ten cent store!

She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!

Incidentally . . .

If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
The lady that I adore
She's the million dollar baby
From the five . . .
The five an' ten cent store!

Golly gee...when you turn them heaters on
Woe is me...got to put my cheaters on

Jeepers, creepers....where'd ya get them peepers
Oh, those weepers....how they hypnotize

(instrumental break)

Jeepers, creepers....where'd ya get them peepers
Oh, those weepers....how they hypnotize
Where did ya get those
Golly where'd ya get those
Where did ya get them there eyes
