Lyrics
- Happy as a lark,
From dawn ’til dark;
That’s the way I used to be.
Bluer than a jay,
Since you went away;
What a change you’ve made in me!
Chorus
Never go in pictures,
What’s the good of pictures?
Love scenes only make me blue.
Ever since the night you left me,
There’s nothing left for me to do.
Never go to dances,
What’s the good of dances?
Can’t romance with someone new.
Ever since the night you left ne,
There’s nothing left for me to do.
Haven’t got the heart to read the funnies,
On Sunday morn.
How can I laugh now that you’re gone?
I’m never in the moonlight,
What’s the good of moonlight?
Only makes me think of you.
Ever since the night you left me,
There’s nothing left for me to do.
2. Life is but a play,
So the poets say;
I believe the way they do.
Take this life of mine,
Study every line;
It can make an act or two.
