AM20: Steppin' Out With My Baby, Irving Berlin

"Steppin' Out With My Baby"- From the Motion Picture "Easter Parade". Original Lyrics and Music Composed by Irving Berlin.
New Music (Alternative Melody) composed by jairosoft.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I give it a rock and roll twist to this broadway-swing-jazz standard. I sang the verse that says "If I seem to scintillate" first because it was first in The Lyric Book. Normally, the well known performers of this song, such as Tony Bennet, start off with "I'm Steppin' Out With My Baby", maybe because it is catchier and more memorable.

~~~~~~~~~~
Here I include the lyrics according to leoslyrics.com (Leo's Lyrics Database).
I didn't sing that intro. But I started singing with the verse that starts with "If I seem to scintillate"

Stepping Out With My Baby 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

Sounds good but you should practice the guitar more before you youtube it,ok. keep it up ☺

[jairosoft]

thanks so much. I am not a very good guitar picker, and I didn't practice very long for this song. As soon as I got chords and melody I started recording, and this is probably my third take on the song.

[jairosoft]

I sang the verses in a different than usual order. I followed how the sequence of verses was given in the Lyric Book. I just noticed that performers of this song, such as Michael Jackson, Tony Bennet, etc. start off with the refrain?, or second verse, the verse that says "Steppin' out with my baby, Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right" and put the first verse, that one that starts with "If I seem to scintillate" somewhere in the latter half of the song, like a bridge.
