Why should a womern who is healthy and strong
 Blubber like a baby if her man goes away?
 A-weepin' an' a-whalin' how he's done her wrong~
 That's one thing you'll never hear me say!
 Never gonna think that the man I lose
 Is the only man among men.
 I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care.
 I'll buy me a brand-new dress to wear.
 I'll scrub my neck and I'll bresh my hair,
 And start all over again!

 Many a new face will please my eye,
 Many a new love will find me.
 Never've I once looked back to sigh
 Over the romance behind me.
 Many a new day will dawn before I do!
 Many a light lad may kiss and fly,
 A kiss gone by is bygone;
 Never've I asked an August sky,
 "Where has last July gone?"
 Never've I wandered through the rye,
 Wonderin' where has some guy gone~
 Many a new day will dawn before I do!

 [Chorus]
 Many a new face will please my eye,
 Many a new love will find me.
 Never've I once looked back to sigh
 Over the romance behind me.
 Many a new day will dawn before I do!

 [Shirley]
 Never've I chased the honeybee
 Who carelessly cajoled me;
 Somebody else just as sweet as he
 Cheered me and consoled me.
 Never've I wept into my tea
 Over the deal someone doled me~

 [Chorus]
 Many a new day will dawn,

 [Shirley]
 Many a red sun will set,
 Many a blue moon will shine, before I do
