The sheet music:
Lyrics
Ding-dong! Ding-dong! The clock is striking ten
Same old sad song! It’s time for bed again
Another lonely evening gone
How long will this go on?
CHORUS
I’m just another poor little Jackie Horner
Alone in a corner the whole night long
Somehow or other, they treat me like a foreigner
Alone in a corner, There’s something wrong
I listen to the radio, read every book on the shelf
I go to every picture show, then go to sleep by myself
Nobody loves me, I never felt forlorner
Along in a corner the whole night long
VERSE 2
Happy lovers, I see them passing by
Why are others more fortunate than I?
Somehow there doesn’t seem to be
A soul who cares for me
