Poor lit-tle, sad lit-tle blue Blues-ette
Don't you cry, don't you fret,
You can bet one luck-y day you'll wak-en,
And your blues will be for-sak-en,
One luck-y day love-ly love will come your way.
Long as there-s love in your heart to share,
Dear Blues-ette don't des-pair
Some blue boy is long-ing just like you,
To find a some-one to be true to,
Two lov-ing arms you can nest-le in to stay.
Get set, Blues-ette,
True love is com-ing,
Your lone-ly heart soon will be hum-ming.
Hum
Doo-ya, Doo-ya, Doo-ya, Doo-ya,
Doo-ya, Doo-ya, Doo- oo- oo Blues-ette
Pret-ty lit-tle Blues-ette,
Mus-n't be a mourn-er,
Have you heard the news yet,
Love is 'round the cor-ner.
Love wrapped in rain-bows
and tied with pink rib-bon
To make your next spring-time
Your gold wed-ding ring time.
So dry your eyes. Don't-cha pout,
Don't-cha fret, good-y good times
Are com-ing, Blues-ette.
Long as there's love in your heart to share,
Dear Blues-ette don't des-pair.
Some blue boy is long-ing just like you,
To find a some-one to be true to.
One luck-y day love-ly love
Will come your way.
That mag-ic day may just be to-day
