I'm just about as solitary
As anyone could be
Of course my life is not so merry
But that's alright with me

No love, no nothin',
Until my baby comes home,
No sir! No nothin',
As long as baby must roam,
I promised him I'd wait for him
Till even Hades froze,
I'm lonesome, Heaven knows,
But what I said still goes,

No love, no nothin',
And that's a promise I'll keep,
No fun with no one,
I'm getting plenty of sleep
My heart's on strike
And though it's like an empty honeycomb,
No love, no sir! No nothin',
Till my baby comes home

My heart's on strike
And though it's like an empty honeycomb,
No love, no sir! No nothin',
Till my baby comes home

No Sir, I'm waiting
Till my baby comes home.
