Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’m so unhappy, what’ll I do
I long for somebody who
Will sympathize with me
I’m growing so tired of living alone
I lie awake all night and cry
Nobody loves me that’s why
Chorus
All by myself in the morning
All by myself in the night
I sit alone in a cosy Morris chair
So unhappy there, playing solitaire
All by myself I get lonely
Watching the clock on the shelf
I’d love to rest my weary head on somebody’s shoulder
I hate to grow older, all by myself
- My name and number are in the book
The one that hangs on a hook
In almost ev’ry drug store
Why don’t someone bother to look
My central tells me all day long
“Sorry the number is wrong”
Sung here by Fred Feild:
