I woke up this morning, picked up the phone
Dialed my baby’s number to see if she was home
Rang twenty times and my heart took a fall
No one was answering, no one home at all
Everything was right for so so long
Everything was right! something had to go wrong
Didn’t even dream that she’d be so loose
But when I went to see her, she vamoosed
I looked at home, I looked in town
I looked around and around and around
I looked over here, I looked over there
I looked for her just about everywhere
I looked all night, I looked all day
Looks like my baby’s gone away
Up in the sky or across the sea
Where can my baby be?
She just vanished in the air! now ain’t that weird
She did The Whistle and disappeared
When The Gang came out to play
She caught the Boardwalk Blues and ran away
I looked at home ...
I don’t know what to do, I think I’ll hire some private eye
Somebody with a gun, a professional spy
They found Patty Hearst, they found Yossele too
So they’ll find my girl, no matter where she flew
Oh where’s my baby, where’s my baby
My sweetheart’s run away from me
Oh where’s my baby, where’s my baby
Where can my baby be?
I looked at home ...

This one goes back to early 1986, when I was doing my army service but wasn't involved in any relationship on the "outside." I was busy writing a whole bunch of "relationship songs"; some were serious, about people I had been or wanted to be involved with, while others were "fun" and about no one in particular. This fell into the latter category. Musically, I based it on several tunes I had jammed on several years prior when the original Reality Shock band was still together. Never actually recorded or performed (or included in a mixtape, for that matter).
