(Verse)
[MME. DUBONNET]
Percy, Percy
Please have mercy
Why must you always be so sad and gloomy?
Why can't you be a little nicer to me?
Chéri, chéri
Please be merry
When I am trying to be bright and jolly
It isn't nice to be so melancholy
(Chorus)
[MME. DUBONNET]
Oh, dear
I've got the you-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
[PERCIVAL]
Don't-want-to-play-with-me blues
[MME. DUBONNET]
It's clear
I've got the you-don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues!
[PERCIVAL]
Don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues
[MME. DUBONNET]
I am so good
At spreading mirth and joy
But it's no good
With such a sulky boy
I try
To play the games the other fellows all choose
[PERCIVAL]
The other fellows all choose
[MME. DUBONNET]
I cry
Because you always refuse
What is a girl to do
With such a boy as you?
I've got those dreary
Weary
You-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
(dance break)
(Chorus 2)
[PERCIVAL]
Oh, dear
I've got the you-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
[GIRLS]
Don't-want-to-play-with-me blues
[PERCIVAL]
It's clear
I've got the you-don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues!
[GIRLS]
Don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues
[MME. DUBONNET]
I am so good
At spreading mirth and joy
[PERCIVAL]
But it's no good
With such a sulky boy
[GIRLS]
I try
To play the games the other fellows all choose
[PERCIVAL]
The other fellows all choose
[GIRLS]
I sigh
Because you always refuse
[MME. DUBONNET]
What is a girl to do
With such a boy as you?
I've got those
[ALL]
Dreary
Weary
You-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
[MME. DUBONNET]
I've got those
[ALL]
Dreary
Weary
You-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
