Babydoll, I'm gonna steal you away
Babydoll, I'm gonna steal you away
One of these nights when all is still
I'm gonna climb your windowsill
And if my plans work OK
I'm gonna steal you away.

When everyone is fast asleep
Into your room I'll softly creep
And in my cloak of misty gray
I'm gonna steal you away.

What if detectives begin to trail me
What if they find us, they wouldn't jail me
Though I was stealing, they'd set me free
When they see that we're married happily.

So if one night your window squeaks
And if the floor around you creaks
It's gonna be elopement day
I'm gonna steal you away.

But if the detectives begin to trail me
What if they find me, they wouldn't jail me
Though I was stealing, they let me be free
When they see that we're married happily.

So if one night your window squeaks
And if the floor around you creaks
It's gonna be elopement day
I'm gonna steal you away.

I'm gonna steal you
Baby, I'm gonna steal you away...
