Baby face,
You got the cutest little baby face!
And though your intellect is a disgrace
I'm sure the human race
Will still support you for your stupid baby face!
As long as you can drink,
You'll never need to think!
With that purdy liddle babyyyyyy f-a-a-ce!

Interesting link, Spaw. Note that the words for the second verse are the same as the first verse. The third verse, on the other hand.... oh!

Baby face,
You've got the cutest little baby face.
There's not another one could take your place,
Baby face.
My poor heart is jumpin'.
You sure have started somethin'.
Baby face,
I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace.
I didn't need a shove,
'Cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face.

This is one of those songs where everyone knows the chorus but hardly anyone knows the verses—which is typical for popular songs of that era. Copied from http://www.341stbombgroup.org/music/baby-face.htm

BABY FACE
(Bennie Davis and Harry Akst, 1926)

Rosy cheeks and turn'd up nose and curly hair,
I'm raving 'bout my baby now,
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there;
Don't want to live without her,
I love her, goodness knows.
I wrote a song about her and here's the way it goes:

CHO: Baby Face!
You've got the cutest little Baby Face!
There's not another one could take your place
Baby Face!
My poor heart is jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'!
Baby Face
I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace!
I didn't need a shove 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty Baby Face!

When you were a baby not so long ago,
You must have been the cutest thing.
I can picture you at ev'ry baby show
Just winnin' ev'ry ribbon with your sweet baby way.
Say, honest, I ain't fibbin',
You win 'em all today. CHO.

The most remarkable thing about this song is that it managed to get into the hit parades in every decade up to the 1980s - on top of being very popular even before there were hit parades.
