Lyrics
1. All my future plans, Dear, will suit your plans
Read the little blueprints.
Here’s your mother’s room, here’s your brother’s room
On the wall are two prints.
Here’s the kiddies’ room, here’s the biddy’s room
Here’s a pantry lined with shelves, dear.
Here I’ve planned for us, something grand for us,
Where we two can be ourselves, dear.
Refrain:
We’ll have a blue room,
A new room, for two room,
Where ev’ry day’s a holiday
Because you’re married to me.
Not like a ballroom, a small room, a hall room
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee.
We will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With Mister and Missus on little blue chairs
You sew your trousseau,
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs.
2. From all visitors and inquisitors
We’ll keep our apartment.
I won’t change your plans
You arrange your plans
Just the way your heart meant.
Here, we’ll be ourselves
And we’ll see ourselves
Doing all the things we’re scheming.
Here’s a certain place,
Creton curtain place,
Where no one can see us dreaming.
Refrain:
We’ll have a blue room,
A new room, for two room,
Where ev’ry day’s a holiday
Because you’re married to me.
Not like a ballroom, a small room, a hall room
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee.
We will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With Mister and Missus on little blue chairs
I’ll wear my trousseau,
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs.
