I'm the Lonsomest Gal in Town Songtext
von Bea Wain

If you read in the paper, some day
That some poor girl has passed away
Don′t shed a tear, if you should hear, that gal was me
And if you see my picture in the papers with a smile on my face
I was brokenhearted and that smile was out of place
So if you'd like to save a poor girl from a grave
Just find me a man if you can


I′m the lonesomest girl in town
Everybody has thrown me down
I ain't got no angel child to call me dear
Got no honey man for me to cuddle near
But I'm learning to roll my eyes
And some day you may be surprised
When I steal somebody′s lovin′ man and kiss him with a smack
I'll hug him and I′ll squeeze him but I'll never give him back
′Cause I'm lonesome
So very lonesome
Yes I′m the lonesomest gal in this here town

I've tried hard to think of a plan
To get myself some lovin' man
You will agree, it′s tough on me
With love to spare, but none to share
A doctor has no patience with a woman like me
A lawyer will not have me, I can talk much more than he
If I knew just what to do, I wouldn′t tell my troubles to you

I'm the lonesomest girl in town
Everybody seems to tear me down
Even during leap-year I don′t stand a chance
I've practically got to slug a guy to get a dance


But I′m learning to roll my eyes
And some day you may be surprised
When someone calls to make a date
The whole darn family's gonna celebrate
Oh, me
Oh, my
Yes I′m the lonesomest gal in this here town
