Verse 1:

C              C7
I looked in my little red book
    F             C   Dbdim
And found I had a date
G7
At half-past eight
C
I can't be late

C            C7
Look me over How do I look?
    F            C    Dbdim
Now tell me I am there
G          D7 G     D7
Tell me on thesquare
E7    Am     D7     G7
Could I make anyone care?

Chorus 1:

  C
I combed my hair and brushed my hat
I even washed my dog and cat
                   DbdimG7
Tonight's my night with ba-by

The onions that I like so much
For weeks I haven't dared to touch
                   G+   Am C
Tonight's my night with ba-by

C7
I call sweetie "baby"
    F
And here's the reason why
D7
Ev-'ry time we cuddle
   Dm                G7
It works just like a lullaby

  C
I hid the parson in the hall
                              C7
So he'll be there if I should call
A7            D7         G7 C G7
To-night’s my night with ba-by

Verse 2:

C                  C7
Feel just like I'm walking on wheels
  F                  C  Dbdim
I think that I could fly
G7
Look in my eye
C
And you'll see why

C               C7
Just had rubber put on my heels,
    F               C   Dbdim
For I've no time to lose
G          D7 G     D7
Do your du-ty shoes,
E7  Am      D7            G7
I'm running 'way from the blues

Chorus 2:

C
I got my Ma, and got my Pa,
And put them in my motorcar
                  Dbdim G7
Tonight's my night with ba-by

I said to my driver Jack,
Just drive and drive and don't come back
                   G+   Am C
Tonight's my night with ba-by

C7
We've seen ev'-ry movie
      F
We've been to ev-ry play
D7
We must have amusement
    Dm           G7
But want it in a dif-'rent way

  C
I fixed the lights at half past ten
They'll all blow out
           C7
Oh boy and then
A7            D7         G7 C G7
To-night’s my night with ba-by

Chorus 3:

   C
If she says "yes" then I'll say "yes"
If she says "no" I'll still say "yes"
                   Dbdim
Tonight's my night with ba-by

If she says, "do" then I'll say "do"
If she says "don't" I'll still say "do"
                   G+   Am C
Tonight's my night with ba-by

C7
We'll move to the North Pole
  F
I know that we're not wrong
D7
You know at the North Pole
    Dm                  G7
The nights up there are six months long

  C
I guess she's nice
I hope I'm right, But if I'm wrong
             C7
I'll know to-night
A7            D7         G7 C
To-night’s my night with ba-by
