"Baby Let's Play House" is a song written and originally recorded by #ArthurGunter in 1954 on the #ExcelloRecords label, and covered by #ElvisPresley the following year on #SunRecords. A line from the song ("I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man") was borrowed by #JohnLennon for his #Beatles song "#RunForYourLife", released on #RubberSoul in 1965.

But don't you be nobody's fool”
