07 Sep 05 - 11:14 PM (#1558734) Subject: Lyr Req: When My Baby Does Her Double Talk To Me From: Eve Goldberg Hello Mudcatters! I haven't been hanging around much these days - I hope to be around more in the near future. But, I'm looking for lyrics that I can't find anywhere else on the internet -- and who better to ask than Mudcatters? I'm looking for complete lyrics (and chords if available) for "When My Baby Does Her Double Talk to Me" which I believe was written by Merle Travis (I know he made a recording of it, but I'm not completely sure he wrote it). The part I remember goes: When my baby does her double talk to me I get just as happy as I can be [Maybe a few more lines in here] And everytime I hold her hand We're in another land With a language only we can understand [a few more lines in here] It's only the one verse, but it gets repeated with funny "secret language" variations, like: When my bail-faby does her dulla-fubble talk to meel-fee, I get just as hal-fappy as I can beel-fee And everytime I holo-fold her hal-fand We're in another lal-fand With a lal-fanguage only weel-a-feel can understal-fand (etc.) I think there may be one or two other variations. Any takers? |

He Said"(?) sung by Betty Hutton, I think - whom Bob Hope described as "a Vitamin Pill on legs!" If you haven't seen the B&W video of those old shows for The Forces - seek it out, it's worth watching for this number alone!!! Cheers! R-J |

08 Sep 05 - 04:20 AM (#1558822) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When My Baby Does Her Double Talk To Me From: Stewie It's on the Bear Family box set of Travis. According to the discography, Travis wrote it. There are no lines missing after the second line above. The missing lines after line 5 are: And when I see the lovelight shinin' in her eyes I lighten up my private paradise Then I say, 'Honey, do you love me true?' And she says, 'Now, daddy, don't you know I do' When my baby does her double talk to me As you say, the rest is nonsensical variations. --Stewie. |

And it's funny that you should mention "He Said Murder He Said" because I have seen a film reel of a woman singing that song at what looks like an Armed Forces concert. I think I was about 14, and I have no memory of where I saw it, but I have always remembered the singer and have occasionally thought about trying to track that song down -- I don't remember much about the song except that it made a huge impression on me. Any more info on that song or the singer? Eve |

When my baby does her double talk to me Then I get just as happy as I can be And everytime I hold her hand We're in another land With a language only we can understand And when I see the lovelight shinin' in her eyes I lighten up my private paradise Then I say, 'Honey, do you love me true?'

She says, 'Dal-faddy, don't you know I do-a-hoo' When my bale-faby does her du-fubble talk to meel-oh-fee When my baky-daky-daby does her ducky-double talk-e-dalk to meek-a-dee Then I ge-ki-det juck-e-dust as hacky-e-dappy as I can bee-ki-dee And everytike-ti-dime I ho-ki-dold her hack-e-dand We're in another lack-e-dacky-dand With a lek-e-danguage on-ke-donly we-ki-dee can understack-e-stand And when I see-ki-dee the luck-e-dove-a-like-a-dight shike-e-dinin' in her ey-ki-dyes And I like-e-dighten up my own pri-ki-divate para-dacky-dise Then I say, 'Hucky-doney, do you lucky-dove me true?'
