| Buds won’t bud, breeze won’t breeze and dew won’t dew,
|
| One and one ain’t even two
|
| When the love you love won’t love you.
|
| Buds won’t bud, chicks won’t chick and micks won’t mack,
|
| Blue is white and white is black
|
| When the love you love won’t love back.
|
| On account there’s no accountin'
|
| When you can’t have the one you like,
|
| All your troubles keep on mountin'
|
| and the world is on a sit-down strike,
|
| 'Cause;
|
| Buds won’t bud, breeze won’t breeze and dew won’t dew,
|
| One and one ain’t even two
|
| When the love you love won’t love you.
|
| Buds won’t bud, breeze won’t breeze and crows won’t crow,
|
| Eeny meeny’s minus mo When the love you love says, «Hi ho».
|
| Buds won’t bud, notes won’t note and knots won’t knot,
|
| T’s won’t cross and I’s won’t dot
|
| When the hope you hope goes to pot.
|
| On account there’s no accountin'
|
| When you can’t bring your dream about,
|
| All your troubles keep on mountin'
|
| And the world is just a big blackout,
|
| 'Cause;
|
| Buds won’t bud, breeze won’t breeze and dew won’t dew,
|
| C-O-D is I-O-U
|
| When the love you love won’t love you. |
