Steppin' Out With My Baby

Words & Music by rving Berlin
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1948*


Em       D    C       B7
Steppin' out with my baby,

Em         D          C        B7
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right;

Em         D    C          B7
It's for sure, don't mean maybe,

Em        C          B7    Em
That I'm all dressed up tonight.



Em        D   C       B7
Steppin' out with my baby,

Em        D      C       B7
Can't be bad to feel so good;

Em     D    C        B7
Never felt quite so sunny,

Em      C       B7       Em
That I keep on knockin' wood.


B7           E     G#m             C#m  F#m         A    
There'll be smooth sailin', 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails,

B7         E     G#m      C#m7-5     F#m     B7    
With that top hat   and my white tie and my tails.



Em        D   C       B7
Steppin' out with my baby,

Em        D           C       B7
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right;

Em      D   C          B7
Ask me when will that day be --

Em       C      B7     Em
The big day may be tonight.
