I'd Rather Be Blue over You - Fanny Brice

I’d rather be blue thinking of you

I’d rather be blue over you

Than be happy with somebody else

I’m crazy about’cha, without’cha

For you I’m strong.

I can’t do without’cha

Howcha magoucha?

Don’t stay too long.

I need a little ah, little ooh, little oh,

And I’m knocking on wood.

Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

It’s so hard to be good

I’d rather be blue thinking of you

I’d rather be blue over you

Than be happy with somebody else

Will I be good?

Will I be bad?

Don’t be a fool, you fool.

My little flat, I’m turning that

Into a Sunday school

While you’re away, I’m here to say

There’ll be no iceman there.

Singin' the blues I’m gonna use

Nothin' but Frigidaire.

I’d rather be blue thinking of you

I’d rather be blue over you

Than be happy with somebody else

Blue over you, I’d rather be blue over you

Than be hap-hap-hap-happy

With somebody else.
