The Ballad of Beulah Baptist

How's your love life?"
"I'll tell you man, I've been trying to get this woman and that woman, you know? I'll tell you who I really love"

I'm in love
With Beulah Baptist
Although I've only seen her on the pages of a magazine
I'm in love
With Beulah Baptist
'Cause she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen

Long pretty legs mmm"

I don't know if she's married
She might have a bunch of kids
She might be mean and evil
And have a real bad attitude
But I don't care, it don't matter
'Cause all I know is what I see
And what I see is a beautiful woman
Just as sweet as she can be

I'm in love
With Miss Beulah Baptist
Although I've only seen her on the pages of Jet magazine
I'm in love
With Beulah Baptist
'Cause she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen

"Oh silky soft skin"

I love her disposition
She always wears a smile
And she listens to my problems
She's forever on my side
I know my imagination
May be far from reality
I can make a good case for reality
But you don't pay support to a fantasy

I'm in love
With Beulah Baptist
Although I've only seen her in the pages of this magazine
I am in love
With Beulah Baptist
'Cause she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen

"(mumbling, I can't understand what he's saying) I mean I've been dreaming"

(This part is sung in scat, which means that there are no actual words)

I don't know if I ever want to meet her
Our relationship is perfect like it is
And no one can ever come between us
She's my picture perfect paper princess living in a magazine

I am in love
With Beualah Baptist
Although I've only seen her on the pages of Ebony magazine
I'm in love
With Beulah Baptist
'Cause she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
