I'd rather be blue thinking of you 
I'd rather be blue over you 
Than be happy with somebody else 
I'm crazy about'cha, without'cha 
For you I'm strong. 
I can't do without'cha 
Howcha magoucha? 
Don't stay too long. 
I need a little ah, bedroom, little oh, 
And I'm knocking on wood. 
Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up 
It's so hard to be good

I'd rather be blue thinking of you 
I'd rather be blue over you 
Than be happy with somebody else 
Will I be good? Will I be bad? 
Don't be a fool, you fool. 
My little flat, I'm turning that 
Into a Sunday school 
While you're away, I'm here to say 
There'll be no iceman there. 
Singin' the blues I'm gonna use 
Nothin' but Frigidaire. 
I'd rather be blue thinking of you 
I'd rather be blue over you 
Than be happy with somebody else 
Blue over you, I'd rather be blue over you 
Than be hap-hap-hap-happy 
With somebody else.
