Every time I go away my baby feels so blue

She misses me so much she don't know what to do

I know that she loves me she tells me all alone

No one can take my place she never do me wrong

My pal is a wonderful fellow and just as a favorite to me

He keeps her company she'll never lonely be

There never was a friend or a buddy such as he

My pal is a wonderful fellow I'd like to see he's happy just like me

I hope that someday he'll settle down for life

I hope that my pal finds a wonderful wife
