Lyrics

  1. Noah filled his Ark
    With a pair of ev’ry kind
    For ev’ry He, a little She
    To keep each other company
    That’s why I remark
    Did the Lord have me in mind?
    I feel blue, ‘Deed I do because I find

Chorus
There’s no one to cuddle up near me
No one to comfort and cheer me
Oh, my! I’m lonesome as I can be poor little me
I’ve got a cat and pet canary
But more than that is necessary
The only place that I can find sympathy
Is in the dictionary
No one to care if I’m gloomy
No one who’s anything to me
Oh, gee! Can’t they hear my plea above?
My heart is full of romance
And all I want is a chance
But I’ve got no, no, no one to love

  1. Even in the Zoo
    Ev’ry monkey has his mate
    The big giraffe at whom we laugh
    He too has got a “better half”
    And the kangaroo, never worries ’bout a date
    But you see lonesome me
    This is my fate
