McKinney's Cotton Pickers - Gee, Ain't I Good To You?

from Where Will You Be Christmas Day? by Various Artists

about

Here we get right down to cases. We may claim to deplore the commercialization of Christmas, but much of it inevitably is about giving and getting gifts. The versatile Don Redman (1900-1964) performs here as a saxophonist, arranger, composer and bandleader. His spoken songs were reminiscent of the great African American dead-pan comic Bert Williams.

lyrics

Aw, love makes me treat you the way I do
Say, ain't I good to you?
You know there's nothing too good for a girl that's true
Oh baby, you know I'm good to you!

Fur coat for Christmas an' a diamond ring
Big padded coat, most everything
And it's love makes me treat you the way I do
Oh baby ain't I good to you!
