Recordings

The song was recorded by British balladeer Steve Conway in 1950,[3] and later by other artists, such as Al Martino on his 1967 Capitol Records release, Frank Fontaine on his 1963 ABC-Paramount single release, and Michael Bublé on his second album, the 2002 Canadian release, Dream. Although the Mills Brothers originally recorded the song in 1950, their 1976 re-recording was notably used in the soundtrack in the 2010 video game BioShock 2. [4][5]

Lyrics

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold
You're Daddy's Little Girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
You're Mommy's bright and shining star.

You're the spirit of Christmas; my star on the tree
You're the Easter Bunny to Mommy and me.
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice
and you're Daddy's Little Girl.
