The song is called["Ain’t Cha"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCAZQND9bTs) by Annette Hanshaw, a really popular singer of the 20’s, and I need lyrics type help. The words I can’t quite make out are at 2:20- “Didn’tcha used to say, on some future day, you’d be (something) for baby”, and at 2:30- “Can’t you take a (something) down to Tiffany’s”.  
Of course, this will probably become an earworm, but it’s a risk I’ll have to take 🙂
