Lyrics

  1. In a room next to mine
    A bride and groom all the time
    Are spoonin’ and cooin’
    Every night my sleep is ruined
    “Ducky” this, “Snooky” that
    They near drive me wild
    Love is blind, so I find
    But here’s what gets me riled

Chorus
Is you too tired to wash the dishes?
Too tired? Umh Hum
Too tired to feed the fishes?
Too tired? Umh Hum
Let’s go see a show
Won’t that be nice? Yes? No?
Where’ll we go?
Is momsy’s hotsy totsy
Too tired to make a little candy?
Too tired? Umh Hum
I think that fudge is dandy
Too tired? Umh Hum
You love me and I’ll love you
‘Cause there’s nothin’ left to do
Then maybe I’ll get s’eepy, too
Too tired? Uh Uh

  1. This lovesick Romeo
    He had a trick radio
    All rusted and busted
    With the thing he was disgusted
    But last night ’twas a fright
    He found what was wrong
    With a grin, tuned it in
    And heard this all night long

Chorus
Is you too tired to wash the dishes?
Too tired? Umh Hum
Too tired to feed the fishes?
Too tired? Umh Hum
Let’s go see a show
Won’t that be nice? Yes? No?
Where’ll we go?
Is momsy’s hotsy totsy
Too tired to make a little candy?
Too tired? Umh Hum
I think that fudge is dandy
Too tired? Umh Hum
Let’s walk down the Avenue
Saw the cutest hat for you
And maybe I might buy it, too
Too tired? Uh Uh
