Everybody's Tryin' To Be My Baby:Carl Perkins. Top of the charts in 1956. The Beatles did this song again with Perkins in 1964. (The original Sun Records recording was G C D. On later recordings it was done in E.) #1. E Well, they took some honey from a tree, E7 Dressed it up and they called it me. A Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, B B7 E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now. #2. E I woke up last night, half past four, E7 fifteen women knockin' at my door. A Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, B B7 E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now. #3. E Went out last night, didn't stay late, E7 before I'm home I had nineteen dates. A Everybody's tryin' to be my baby. E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, B B7 E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now. #4. E Me and my gal sittin' in the shade, E7 talkin' 'bout the money that she has made. A And everybody's tryin' to be my baby, E everybody's tryin' to be my baby. B B7 E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now. #5. E Well, they took some honey from a tree, E7 Dressed it up and they called it me. A Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby. B B7 E Everybody's tryin' to be my baby, now.(Verse x2) A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
