The Nat “King” Cole Trio
My Baby Just Cares for Me
As sung by Nat King Cole
Words by Gus Kahn and Music by Walter Donaldson
Sung in the file "Whoopee" by Eddie Cantor
A #4 hit for Ted Weems in 1930
A # 29 hit for the Hi-Los in 1954
My baby don't care for shows, my baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for furs and laces
My baby don't care for high-toned places
My baby don't care for rings or other expensive things
She's sensible as can be
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
(Instrumental interlude)
My baby's no Crosby fan, Dick Tracy is not her man
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for Mr. Tibbits
She'd rather have me around to kibbitz
Roy Rogers is not her style, and even Clark Gable's smile
Is something that she can't see
(Oh, you lucky so-and-so)
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for me
