It's a nuisance having you around
But I finds it when you ain't
It's the usual complaint
I'm as miserable as any gal can be
Who ain't a galdern saint
It's a nuisance havin' you so close
But I finds it when you go
I'm so ornery and low
I don't pass the time to folks
Who stop the time and say hello
Although you peeves me
You changes the day to spring
And when you leaves me
All joy you obliterates, I reiterates
It's a nuisance havin' you around
But I must feels I must repeat
When you're coming up the street
I becomes my natural self
Which is of course most lovable and sweet
Have a seat
You spoke, I heard song
Descending from high above
And as for birdsong
The air fairly twitter-ates
I reiterates
It's a nuisance havin' you around
But I find when you're away
It's a mighty gloomy day
And the moment you return
I'm just as puffed up as a popinjay
You can stay
You can stay
