Listen to my tale of woe,
it's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
I must win some handsome guy
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
I am so awf'ly misunderstood
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,

Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
I must win some winsome miss
I could blossom out I know,
Which somebody just like you.
I am so awf'lly misunderstood,
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Auburn and brunette and blonde,
I love 'em all, tall or small
But somehow they don't grow fond,
They stagger but never fall.
Winte'rs gone, and now it's spring!
Love! where is thy sting?
If somebody won't respond,
Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
