Ev'ry Baby Needs a Da Da Daddy (From "Ladies of the Chorus") - Marilyn Monroe

It was cold outside of Tiffany’s, I was shivering in the storm

I walked in and asked a gentleman «could I please keep warm?»

He asked me how come a baby doll has no comfy place to go

So I told that kindly gentleman my tale of woe

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy to keep her worry-free

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, but where’s one for me?

Rich or poor, I don’t care who

If he hasn’t got a million then a half will do

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy.Could my da-daddy be you?

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy with silver in his hair

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy who has some gold to spare

Some sweet daddy who enjoys

Bringing home to baby little diamond toys

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy.

Could my da-da-daddy be you?

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, in case she runs aground

Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, to keep her safe and sound

Yes we feel just like red riding hood

Cos the wolves are awful hungry in the neighbourghhood

Oh every baby needs a da-da-daddy.

Could my da-daddy be you?

Could my da-daddy be you?
