Listen to my tale of woe,
  It's terribly sad,but true.
  All dressed uo,no place to go.
  Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
  I must win some winsome miss;
  Can't go on like this.
  I could blossom out I know,
  With somebody just like you,so,
  
  Oh,sweet and lovely lady,be good!
  Oh lady,be good to me!
  I'm so awf'ly misunderstood,
  So,lady be good to me.
  Oh,please have some pity,
  I'm all alone in this big city.
  I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
  So lady,be good to me!
  
  Auburn and brunette and blonde,
  I love'em all,tall or small.
  But somehow they don't grow fond,
  They stagger but never fall.
  Winter's gone and now it's Spring!
  Love!where is thy sting?
  If somebody won't respond,
  I'm going to end it all,so,
  
  REFRAIN
  This is tulip weather,
  So let's put two and two together.
  I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood.
  So lady,be good to me!
