When Baby Baby Smiles at Me is the name of a popular song by music by Bill Munro and words by Andrew B. Sterling and Ted Lewis, published by Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing in 1920. It was interpolated into the Broadway show The Greenwich Village Follies (1919) and was the first major hit for clarinettist, vocalist and comedian Ted Lewis (1892-1971). The recording of jazz band Ted Lewis in 1920 for Columbia Records, became his distinctive song, and spent 18 weeks on the charts (seven weeks at No. 1). Ted Lewis was re-recorded several times over the years and the 1938 version for Decca also charted briefly. The tone was also covered by other artists at the time
