The 'You Don't Want to Play with Me' Blues (From "The Boy Friend")

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) Oh, dear I’ve got the you-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues! Don’t-want-to-play-with-me blues It’s clear I’ve got the you-don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues! Don’t-want-to-stay-with-me blues 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 The other fellows all choose 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) Oh, dear I’ve got the you-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues! Don’t-want-to-play-with-me blues It’s clear I’ve got the you-don't-want-to-stay-with-me blues! Don’t-want-to-stay-with-me blues 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 The other fellows all choose I sigh 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! I’ve got those Dreary Weary You-don't-want-to-play-with-me blues!
