I'm just about as solitary As anyone could be Of course my life is not so merry But that's all right with me No love, no nothin' Until my baby comes home No ma'am, no nothin' As long as baby must roam I promised her I'd wait for her Till even Hades froze I'm lonesome, Heaven knows But what I said still goes No love, no nothin' And that's a promise I'll keep No fun with no one I'm getting plenty of sleep My heart's on strike And though it's like an empty honeycomb No love, no ma'am, no nothin' Till my baby comes home My heart's on strike And though it's like an empty honeycomb No love, no ma'am, no nothin' Till my baby comes home No ma'am, I'm waiting Till my baby comes home
