Lyrics
- Noah filled his Ark
With a pair of ev’ry kind
For ev’ry He, a little She
To keep each other company
That’s why I remark
Did the Lord have me in mind?
I feel blue, ‘Deed I do because I find
Chorus
There’s no one to cuddle up near me
No one to comfort and cheer me
Oh, my! I’m lonesome as I can be poor little me
I’ve got a cat and pet canary
But more than that is necessary
The only place that I can find sympathy
Is in the dictionary
No one to care if I’m gloomy
No one who’s anything to me
Oh, gee! Can’t they hear my plea above?
My heart is full of romance
And all I want is a chance
But I’ve got no, no, no one to love
- Even in the Zoo
Ev’ry monkey has his mate
The big giraffe at whom we laugh
He too has got a “better half”
And the kangaroo, never worries ’bout a date
But you see lonesome me
This is my fate
Sung here by Fred Feild:
