Yesterday I got to dreamin'
About a recipe for my love
Took all the things I was feelin'
Thing's around there's just not enough of
I tried and tried to find out the secret for my recipe
But all of these things couldn't make up my baby
And what my baby means to me

I took a cup full of sunshine
Added a touch of the rainbow
Sprinkled some happiness around it
And a little bit, from a song that I know
One smile and a whole lot of lovin' in my recipe
All that couldn't make up my baby
And what my baby means to me

Yes I've done a whole lot of dreamin'
But it's no fun when things ain't what they seemin'
I love my baby and my baby loves me
Then why can't I find my recipe?

Painted me a face like Mona Lisa
Put some magic in the smile
I used all the colors of the rainbow
Artists 'round the world started copying my style
But it still doesn't look like my baby
And what she means to me
I guess I'll never find the secret to my recipe

I took a cup full of sunshine
Added a touch of the rainbow
Sprinkled some happiness around it
And a little bit
(Fades out)
