"I Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five and Ten Cent Store)" is a popular song. The music was written by Harry Warren, the lyrics by Mort Dixon and Billy Rose. The song was published in 1931, though a song using the same title, with a similar lyric by Rose and different music, had been published five years earlier. It was introduced in the Broadway musical Billy Rose's Crazy Quilt, which opened in May, 1931, where it was sung by Fanny Brice. Many versions of the song were recorded in 1931. The biggest hit was by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians, with a vocal by Clare Hanlon, released by Victor Records as catalog number 22707. The next-most-popular version was by Bing Crosby, recorded on June 12, 1931 and released by Brunswick Records as catalog number 6128 and a version recorded by the Boswell Sisters and Victor Young's Orchestra also had some popularity. The song has since become a pop standard, recorded by many additional people (see below).

1926 Song By Billy Rose

Billy Rose first used the title for a 1926 song that had music by Fred Fisher. Rose wrote the lyric for the earlier song, which also described a man falling in love with a woman who sold china in a five and dime. (The 1931 lyric written largely by Mort Dixon, while using the same idea as the 1926 lyric, is not identical to that of the earlier song.) The 1926, though not a hit, was recorded for RCA Victor in 1926 by Canadian singer Henry Burr.
