The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Tho’ you’re always waxing sentimental
And sweet words are all I ever hear
You don’t really give a continental
Deep down in your heart you’re not sincere
Chorus
You call ev’rybody darling
And ev’rybody calls you darling, too
You don’t mean what you’re sayin’
It’s just a game you’re playin’
But you’ll find someone else
Can play the game as well as you
If you call ev’rybody darling
Then love won’t come a-knockin’ at your door
And as the years go by
You’ll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darling anymore
