"I Found A Million Dollar Baby" by Harry Warren
(First Recorded by Bing Crosby)

"It was a lucky 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
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby
From the five and ten cent store

"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

[Lots of bababebeboooos]

"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
Step inside my cottage door
And meet my million dollar baby
From the five and ten cent store"

My grandmother used to take me to the five and ten cent store. Actually, it was the five and dime. Well, actually, it was a Woolworth's, but that's what she called it. Always got my Halloween costumes there. I would go there to try to find a million dollar baby for myself, but it's an Autozone or something now ... just not the same thing.
