(Andy Razof and Thomas "Fats" Waller)
What will i do at sundown,
What will i do at dawn,
What will i do at noontime,
Now that i've found you gone?
What will i do for sunshine
With nothing but the rain?
How can i smile,
Find life worth while
With a heart that's filled with pain?
My, how i miss
Your tender kiss
And the wonderful things you would do.
I run my hands
Thru' sil'vry strands
'Cause i'm blue, turning grey over you.
Well, you used to be
So good to me,
That's when i was a novelty.
Now you have new thrills in view,
Found someone new,
Left me blue, turning grey over you.
I said, how can i smile,
Find life worth while
With a heart that's filled with pain?
You used to be
So good to me,
That's when i was a novelty.
Well, now you have found some new thrills to view,
And some new buddy friends and i don't know what to do.
Because i'm blue, turning grey over you.
Yeh, come on, hit me, daddy, hit me,
Let me hear it one time!
Oh yeah,
Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-so-so-so-so
Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-dootsie-dootise-doo.
I just lost myself there, child, ha! Ha! Ha!
