I don’t know what day it is
Or if it’s dark or fair
Somehow, that’s just the way it is
And I don’t really care

I go to this or that place
I seem alive and well
My head is just a hat place
My breast an empty shell
And I’ve a faded dream to sell

All alone, all at sea
Why does nobody care for me?
When there’s no love to hold my love
Why is my heart so frail?
Like a ship without a sail.

Out on the ocean,
Sailors can use a chart
I’m on the ocean
Guided by just a lonely heart

Still alone, still at sea
Still there’s no one to care for me
When there’s no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

Still alone, still at sea
Still there’s no one to care for me
When there’s no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

Life’s great, life’s grand
Future, all planned
No more, clouds in the sky
How’m I ridin’? I’m ridin’ high

Someone, I love
Mad for, my love
So long, Jonah, goodbye
How’m I ridin’? I’m ridin’ high

Floating, on a starlit ceiling
Doting, on the cards I’m dealing
Gloating, because I’m feeling so hap-hap-happy, I’m slap-happy

So ring bells, sing songs
Blow horns, beat gongs
Our love, never will die
How’m I ridin’? I’m ridin’ high

Someone, I love
Mad for, my love
So long, Jonah, goodbye
How’m I ridin’? I’m ridin’ high

Floating, on a starlit ceiling
Doting, on the cards I’m dealing
Gloating, because I’m feeling so hap-hap-happy, I’m slap-happy

So ring bells, sing songs
Blow horns, beat gongs
Our love, never will die
How’m I ridin’? I’m ridin’ high

This is my first affair – please be kind
Handle my heart with care – please be kind

This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you’ll just understand
They’ll never, never fade

So tell me your love’s sincere – please be kind
Tell me I needn’t fear – please be kind

‘Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart – will lose its mind
If you love me – please be kind

Don’t throw bouquets at me
Don’t please my folks too much
Don’t laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we’re in love

Don’t sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
And your eyes mustn’t glow like mine
People will say we’re in love

Don’t start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove

Well, sweetheart,
They’re suspecting things
People will say we’re in love

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It’s that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It’s that old devil moon in your eyes

You and you glance make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can’t hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle

You’ve got me flyin’ high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It’s that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think
I’m free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It’s no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic’s boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There’s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won’t be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn’t necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There’s no guarantee that time won’t erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won’t regret it
That’s the best work of all, if you can get it

Holding hands at midnight
‘neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It’s nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won’t you tell me how? ”

My romance doesn’t have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn’t need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hideaway, no soft guitars

My romance doesn’t need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn’t need a thing but you

My one and only,
What am I gonna do if you turn me down
When I’m so crazy over you?

I’d be so lonely
Where am I gonna go if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue?

I tell you, I’m not asking any miracle
It can be done, it can be done
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
And make us one, and make us one

So, my one and only
There isn’t a reason why you should turn me down
When I’m so crazy over you
