Show Tune #4 II

I wouldn't blame you if you do!

And if I said
'We're not dead
yet, are we, are we?
And if you
working, too,
said 'I do'

I wouldn't blame you if you do!

'What'!

'I didn't mean it'!

'Really, Frankie'?

'Yes, Johnnie,
And I promise to be true
what's more, Johnnie, honey
ain't nobody's
business
if we do'.

(bridge)

I wouldn't blame you, no sirree!
yet all the same, you see
it would be so alright
if all through the night-night
we could lay awake
in a cottage by a lake
under the rafters
somehow evading sleep
hearing the trout leap
waiting for dawn to break!
