My Man Is on the Make - Helen Kane

Why did my sweetie leave me?

Why did we have to part?

You know, no other sweetie can relieve me

Of this aching heart

Why can’t I have the sunshine?

The sunshine instead of gloom?

Why must I have these little shadows

Creeping in my room?

When the night is dark and peaceful

Loving hearts are all in tune

There’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world

It’s me and the man and the moon

When the little birds are nesting

And I listen to them croon

There are two lonesome people in the whole wide world

It’s me and the man and the moon

While I lie there counting sheep

Through my window he comes to peep

And with each other we’re sympathizing!

Oh, I’m looking at those happy people

While they sit around and spoon

There’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world

It’s me and the man and the moon

Oh, but if my sweetie keeps me waiting

You know what I’m gonna do?

I’ll get another sweetie, soon;

Because there’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world

It’s me and the man and the moon

Oh, how I miss his ukulele

And the way he strums those tunes

'Cause there’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world

It’s me and the man and the moon

When the creepy shadows fall

And the boogie man comes to call

I need two lovable arms around me!

You know, and if my sweetie keeps me waiting

You know what I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna get myself a big balloon, a big one

And I’ll travel through the air in that big balloon and have a love affair

With the man in the moon!
