Baby's Awake Now

Baby's Awake Now
music by Richard Rodgers (left)
lyric by Lorenz Hart (right)

Out of the ether and into the air Baby opens her eyes and cries,
"Let the party start again!"
Powders her nose and fixes her hair, sees how the landscape lies and sighs,
"Bring your baby all the men!"
And then, out where the wild gardenias grow, Baby has got her chance,
So let her dance!

Baby's awake now!
Baby can do things!
Ready to shake her chassis, Baby has new springs!
Baby can learn how;
Baby can dance rings round ev'ry other lassie.

Baby can do things!
Her deportment isn't so mild.
Mammy, get your wandering wild child!
Beat on the big drum!
She's making her bow, burn up the baby's cradle !
Baby's awake now!
