Betty sang the blue song

For he'd been away for too long

She was dreaming of her lost companion-ee

For she came down from georgia

And married a gi soldier

And she turned out to be his runaway toy



Skip a dee doo, skip a dee day

You're lookin' just fine in the same old way

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, and i don't know why

Skip a dee doo, skip a dee day

You're lookin' just fine in the same old way

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, but i don't know why

Skip a dee doo, skip a dee day

You're lookin' just fine in the same old way

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, but i don't know why



Maybe when you twinkle in your eyes

Are the calling of your toes(?)

Betty who sang the blue song



Skip a dee doo, skip a dee day

You're lookin' just fine in the same old way

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, and i don't know why

Skip a dee doo, skip a dee day

You're lookin' just fine in the same old way

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, but i don't know why

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, but i don't know why

I want your lovin'

Yes i do, but i don't know why
