Count Basie and His Orchestra

"My Heart Belongs to Daddy"

Cole Porter classic song

January 5, 1939.

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'cause my heart belongs to daddy
If I invite a boy some night to dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more, but my heart belongs to daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to daddy, so I simply couldn't be bad
Yes my heart belongs to daddy
Da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad
So I want to warn you, laddie,
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to daddy cause my daddy he treats it so.
