I Found A Million Dollar Baby

Bing Crosby



It was composed by the late Harry Warren, whom I knew the last several

years of his life, when he was a member of the Pacific Pioneer

Broadcasters and often was a guest at their luncheons. Harry wrote it

in 1931, I believe; and that was the year that Crosby recorded it on

Brunswick and it was one of his first really big hits. I have known the

lyrics by heart for over fifty years, and here they are from Bing Crosby's

record:



It was a lovely April shower,

It was a most convenient door,

I found a million dollar baby

In a five and ten cent store.

The rain continued for an hour

I hung around for three or four

Around the million dollar baby

In the five and ten cent store.



She was selling china

And when she made those eyes,

I kept buying china

Until the crowd got wise.



Incidentally,

If you should run into a shower,

Well step inside my cottage door,

And meet the million dollar baby

From the five and ten cent store



(Bridge:)

Love comes along like a popular song

Anytime or anywhere at all,

Rain or sunshine,

Spring or fall.

Say, you'll never know when it may say hello

In a very unexpected place,

For example, take my case.
