When I was still alone
A bachelor, a lonesome little lad
Being alone then was extraordinarily okay
So carefree and gay

Without a word being said
You could do a handstand on the table
Or spent two days in bed
The W.C.  was always free
If once in a while you lost your smile
Likely there was no-one nearby 
Who said: "O Lord, how pitiful"

   Onesome, twosome, threesome
Added up is all alone
By your lonesome
lonesomest lonesome
Nobody at home

When I was still alone
A bachelor, a lonesome little lad
Being alone then was extraordinarily okay
So carefree and gay

Even the trees in the field
The birds in the sky 
The butter in the dish
The sea, the clouds up high
The dimples on your back
The snow-cap on the peak 
Don't mind being lonesome in the least 

   Onesome, twosome, threesome
Added up is all alone
By your lonesome
lonesomest lonesome
Nobody at home

   Onesome, twosome, threesome
Added up is all alone
By your lonesome
lonesomest lonesome
Nobody at home
