Lyrics
- Bad days I just adore ’em
Bad days, I’m crazy for ’em
When there’s mist around
Dew upon the ground
I like blue funny weather
Don’t like too sunny weather
With sweet sweetie mine
I can’t enjoy my time
Chorus
All we do is go out walking
When the sun shines bright and gay
But what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day
All we do is lots of talking
On a moonlight night in May
But what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day
Do we love? do we play?
Do we hug just a little bit
Kiss just a little bit, Boy, I’ll say
When the parlor’s warm and cosy
And the old folks are away
Oh, what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day?
- Rain may go pitter patter
I say what does it matter
When I’m satisfied by a fireside
Some sweet someone is near me
One who knows how to cheer me
Never think of showers
Only happy hours
Chorus
If it’s raining when I start home
Then she says I’ll have to stay
Then what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day
That’s when I lose my umbrella
And for lightning how I pray
Then what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day
But when Ma, and her Pa?
Both say, “Let’s not go out tonight
We won’t go out tonight,” I turn gray
Cause my baby sits on one chair
On the other I must stay
Then what do we do, what do we do
On a dew dew dewy day?
