I am a singer of love songs,
Songs that are happy and gay.
But how can I sing my love songs?
My lover's gone away.

I've got the words, and I've got the tune,
I've been rehearsing under the moon,
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself.

I've got the place, I've got the time,
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme,
But I've got nobody to hear my song,
So I'm hummin' to myself.

Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
I guess it just had to be.
Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
Won't someone listen to me?

I've got the words and I've got the tune;
I'd like to croon it under the moon,
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself.
