Steppin Out with My Baby

Artist: Joe Loss Orchestra

Album: Best of Quickstep Music

Song Length: 2:46

George's Thoughts: A wonderful piece that celebrates the whole ballroom dance experience. Popular song versions of this number are generally too slow for Quickstep, except for practice use. Another dance-friendly version of this song can be found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 2." Casa Musica's "Best of Ballroom Music Part 2" includes a very slow version sung by Doris Day that's ideal for Slow Foxtrot.

Song Lyrics:

Here he comes lookin' for his baby
It's for sure, sure and not for maybe
Don't ask when will the lucky day be
Here he comes and let him tell you himself:

If I seem to scintillate
It's because I've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why I feel sublime
I'm

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight

Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood

There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
With a bright shine on my shoes and on my nails
[alternate line: In my top hat and my white tie and my tails]

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight
