I've got to check up on my baby, yeah

Now an I'm goin an fightin' now for our country
We gotta keep Mussolini from treatin' my baby wrong

'Mussolini got scared an cut out, didn't he?'

Now, don't ya know what Hitler told President Roosevelt?
Said we made the bad design plan, worry on
Oh President Roosevelt, I think they're tellin' a lie
Brother, so we gotta have a plan that's built up like a squirrel
An I'll send my boys to check up on their baby, yeah

A-my boys must see how there baby doin', gettin' along

He said, 'You help me win this war
Gotta keep Hitler from treatin' yo' baby wrong

Now don't you know my baby, she can't even write
No, my baby can't even a-send no telegram
I've got to check up on my baby
I know my baby wanna, a-know just where I am

Now I've got to go check up on my baby, now

'Oh yeah!'

Well now, an I've got som'thin to tell you, baby

Well now, an if you help me, baby
I swear I will never do you no harm.
