First Verse
I feel so sad and lonely I wish I knew just why Every
one is happy, While all I do is sigh. I walk the straight
and narrow path I'm good as I can be; Maybe that's just
what is wrong, For it seems to me.
Second Verse
My mother always told me "Be very, very good;" I took her
advise, Like a good child always should. I went to bed at
eight o'clock But what did that get me? I have missed an
awful lot, Now I plainly see.
Chorus
When you are good, you're so lonesome, And when you're
lonesome you're blue; Sometimes it seems very hard to
believe Every dark cloud has a silver lining I think it'll
get me a sweetie who'll make afuss over me, Just love and
pet me all the day; Then I'll never have to say When you are
good you're so lonesome, And when you're lonesome
you're blue.
