Romeo had Juliet
And Louis The Sixteenth had Antoinette,
But I ain't got nobody
And nobody's got me!
Pelleas had Melisande
And Isabella had Ferdinand,
But I ain't got nobody
And nobody's got me!
Welch Grape Juice has Irene Rich,
Minneapolis has Saint Paul.
Abercrombie has his Fitch;
Here I am crying
And sitting and sighing,
With no-one at all!
Hans had Gretel by his side,
And Doctor Jekyll had Mister Hyde,
But I ain't got nobody
And nobody's got me!
Lancelot had fair Elaine
And Mister Lunt has Miss Lynn Fontaine,
But I ain't got nobody
And nobody's got me!
Frederic Chopin had George Sand
And Alexander his Ragtime Band,
But I ain't got nobody
And nobody's got me!
Barbasol had Singin' Sam,
Metro-Goldwyn has Mayer,
Mary has her little lamb;
Here I am hoping
And mumbling and moping,
With no-one to care!
Gobs have sweethearts on the wharves
And even Snow White had seven dwarves,
Nobody's got me!
