Richard Rodgers
Little Girl Blue
[Intro]
No use, old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hopes is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
[Chorus]
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Yes, sit there and count the raindrops
Fallin' on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hopes is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
Oh, to cheer up little girl blue
[Preamble]
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
And gone are the tinsels and gold
[Chorus]
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Yes, girl, you're through
Ohh, sit there and count your little fingers
Oh, lucky little girl blue
Baba-di-di, sit there and count the raindrops
Fallin' on you
Mmm, it's time we knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
Oh, fallin' on little girl blue
No use, old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hopes is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl
