I Found a Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store)Nat “King” Cole

It was a lucky April shower
It was a most convenient dorm
I found a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store

The rain continued for an hour
I hang around for three our four
Around a million dollar baby in a five an ten cent store

She was selling china
And when she made those eyes
I kept buying china until the crop got wise

Incidentally
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store

Incidentally
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
And meet the million dollar baby from the five and ten
Five and ten cents store

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
