All Alone Monday lyrics, performed in Three Little Words
All Alone Monday lyrics, written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, from the Broadway musical The Ramblers
I keep a book in which I’ve got down
Each daily endeavor
I jot down whatever I do
Some people ridicule a diary
But I really need it
I’m going to read it to you
All alone Monday, singing the blues
All alone Tuesday, reading the news
Staring and blinking, sitting there thinking, all alone
On the shelf Wednesday, till the dawn comes
By myself Thursday, twirling my thumbs
Friday is my day, so I spend Friday all alone
On Saturday I dread the coming of Sunday
Monday, the week starts anew
I’m certain I could endure the week to the end
And I am sure the days that I spend
Wouldn’t be lonely if I were only all alone with you
(from the musical Three Little Words starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)
