Verse 1:

I'm not a salesman, but understand,
I know the law of supply and demand.
All your demands, dear, I will supply,
'Cause if it's for my baby, I'll buy;

Chorus 1:

Whenever you go shoppin'
To buy a dress that's new;
Honey, I'll keep my eye on
The dresses you try on,
'Cause I'm goin' shoppin' with you.
When you go to the jew'ler
To buy a gem or two;
On your fourth little finger,
A ring's gonna linger,
'Cause I'm goin' shoppin' with you.
Lots of shoes and stockings
And plenty of new chapeaux;
That's what I would go for,
For that cute little baby inside those clothes,
Oh, you go and pick the cottage,
I'll put the mortgage through;
Honey, I don't know whether
We'll move in together,
But I'm goin' shoppin' with you.

Chorus 2:

Go to the beauty parlor,
They won't have much to do;
If they paint you, they're silly,
They can't paint a lily,
But I'm goin' shoppin' with you.
When you go to the grocer's
To buy an egg or two;
I will bring home the bacon,
Or am I mistaken
About goin' shoppin' with you?
We can build a nest with
Sweet kisses and then, someday,
Maybe we'll be bless'd with
In the pig-Latin language, an "a-bee-bay."
Say, when you buy baby blankets
All trimmed in baby blue;
I'll be right there behind you,
'Cause let me remind you,
That I'm goin' shoppin' with you.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

What you decide on is quite O. K.
We need some practice, so let's start today;
Pick out the bargains in hats and frills,
'Cause later on I must pay the bills;
