Everybody's Tryin' To Be My Baby:Carl Perkins.
Top of the charts in 1956. The Beatles did
this song again with Perkins in 1964.
#1.
Well, they took some honey from a tree,
Dressed it up and they called it me.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.
#2.
I woke up last night, half past four,
fifteen women knockin' at my door.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.
#3.
Went out last night, didn't stay late,
before I'm home I had nineteen dates.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.
#4.
Me and my gal sittin' in the shade,
talkin' 'bout the money that she has made.
And everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.
#5.
Well, they took some honey from a tree,
Dressed it up and they called it me.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.(Verse x2)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
