I’m the Lonesomest Gall in Town Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 broken hearted and that smile was out of place
So if you like to save a poor girl from her grave
Just find me a man if you can


I'm the lonesomest gal 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

And I'm learnin' 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

Yes, I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
