Information: Elvis recorded Baby, Let's Play House on February 5, 1955, at the Sun Studios. Instrumental backing was provided by Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Bill Black on bass, and Elvis on rhythm guitar. Baby, Let's Play House reached #10 on Billboard's Country Best-Seller chart and #5 on the Country Disc Jockey chart in July 1955 - the first Elvis song ever to chart. It remained on the chart for 15 weeks. Elvis sang Baby, Let's Play House frequently on tour in 1955 and on his second appearance on Stage Show (February 4, 1956). On May 7, 1956, the Johnny Burnette Trio recorded a song titled Oh Baby Babe for Coral Records (Coral 61675) that was an exact copy (even some of the original lyrics are repeated) of Elvis's Baby, Let's Play House. Buddy Holly recorded a version of Elvis's recording on his LP Holly In The Hills (Coral 57463), calling it I Wanna Play House With You. In 1963, Elvis' sound-alike Vince Everett recorded Baby, Let's Play House for ABC-Paramount Records (ABC-Paramount 10472). Lyrics: Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Now listen and I'll tell you baby
What I'm talking about
Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Oh, let's play house, baby
Now this is one thing, baby I want you to know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before
Well, baby, come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Yeah
Now listen to me, baby, try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
Now baby, come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby b-b-b-b-b-b, baby, baby, baby
