I get a-long with - out you ve-ry well,___
Of course I do,____Ex-cept when soft rains fall___
and drip from leaves, then I re-call
The thrill of be-ing shel-tered in your arms,____
Of course I do,___________
But I get a-long with - out you ve - ry well.___

I've for-got-ten you, just like I should,___
Of course I have,___Ex-cept to hear your name,____
or some-one's laugh that is the same,
But I've for-got-ten you just like I should______
What a guy!  ________ What a fool am I_____
To think my break-ing heart___ could kid the moon;

What's in store? _______Should I 'phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune.__________
I get a-long with-out you ve-ry well,_______
Of course I do,_____Ex-cept per-haps in spring___
but I should ne-ver think of spring
For that would sure-ly break my heart in two._____
