E
Well, they took some honey from a tree,
                       E7
Dressed it up and they called it me.
A
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
E
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,

Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.

I woke up last night, half past four,
              E7
fifteen women knockin' at my door.

Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
E
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,

Went out last night, didn't stay late,

before I'm home I had nineteen dates.

Everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
E
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,

E
Me and my gal sittin' in the shade,
                             E7
talkin' 'bout the money that she has made.
    A
And everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
E
everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
B           B7                    E
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.

#5.
E
Well, they took some honey from a tree,
                       E7
Dressed it up and they called it me.
A
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby,
E
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby.
