An early uptempo rendition of the Walter Donaldson-Gus Kahn classic...with Jack Payne & his Band.
MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME
My baby don't care for shows,
My baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don't care for furs and laces,
My baby don't care for high toned places.
My baby don't care for rings,
Or other expensive things.
She's sensible as can be.
My baby don't care who knows it,
My baby just cares for me!
