vocal by Eddie Cantor

Baby wants to shop and then
I take her down to the Five & Ten
There's nothing too good for my Baby

Baby likes a limousine
I show her one in a magazine
There's nothing too good for my Baby

Baby wants lots of love, Baby gets lots of love
Baby wants pettin', Baby gets pettin'
That's what I've plenty of

Do I give? Yesirree
I'm no fool, I just gave her me!
There's nothing too good for my Baby

She wants pearls she told me once
So I ate oysters for months and months
There's nothing too good for my Baby

Debroy Somers and his Band -- Just The Type For Me (1929)

KInd of shy, kind of slow
But at home with the lights down low
She's just the type for me
Doesn't look like she might
But Oh, Oh! On a rainy night
She's just the type for me
She's got a baby's stare
Right out in a street
But in an easy chair
She's got them all beat
Doesn't show sex appeal
But when she's in my automobile
She's just the type for me

Josephine Baker -- Si J'etais Blanche (1932)
(If I Were White)

Lyrics (Translation)

I’d love to be white
What a joy for me
If my breasts and my thighs
Changed color suddenly

The Parisians at Juan-Les Pins
Can have their fun
Exposing loves already blackened
To the sun

To make myself white
I went to the Alps
And rolled in the snow there
But it didn’t help

I was no closer
To my little dream
I merely looked like a prune
In a dish of cream

When I was a girl I sadly admired
All the dolls I saw in stores
With skin so pale and white, unlike my own

I would have liked to look like them
And I said with a defeated air
I felt like the only brown girl in the world

It’s in the sun that others
Get a healthy glow
But for me, it’s the flame of my heart
That colors me so

And if my face and body is brown
Because that's how nature
Intended me

But I'm free
So tell me, gentlemen
Should I be white
To please you better?
