With them, we might be able to find some phrase to use as a search string. You might imagine the difficulty in using the title alone. Thanks. |

I got a high-steppin' baby; you know, she's really 'bout as good as gold. (2x) She can make my grandpa feel like he's six years old. I got twenty-twenty vision and that's all I need, Enough to keep my baby here by me. You know, my little baby, she buzz somethin' like a bumblebee. (2x) And I won't complain if she comes 'round here and stings me. Sting me! I got twenty-twenty vision and that's all I need, Enough to give my baby the company. You know, my little baby, I'd recognize her anywhere. If I seen her in a crowd, I'd recognize her anywhere. She can even make my grandpa get up out o' his wheelchair. All the boys hang around her, but she says she don't love no one else. (2x) Well, I got twenty-twenty vision; I can see that for myself. |
