# Lyrics:
I'd rather be blue
thinking of you
I'd rather be
blue over you
Than be happy with
somebody else
I'm crazy about 'ya
Without 'ya
For you I'm strong
I can't do without 'ya
Oucha-ma-goucha
Don't stay too long!
I need a little ah
little ooh, little oh
And I'm knocking on wood
Honey hurry up
Hurry up, hurry up
It's so hard to be good
I'd rather be blue
thinking of you
I'd rather be
blue over you
Than be happy with
somebody else
Will I be good?
Will I be bad?
Don't be a fool
You fool
My little flat
I'm turning that
Into a Sunday school
While you're away
I'm here to say
There'll be no
ice man there
Singing the blue
I'm gonna use
Nothing but Frigidaire
I'd rather be blue
thinking of you
I'd rather be
blue over you
Than be happy with
somebody else
Blue over you
I'd rather be blue
over you, than be
hap-hap-hap-happy
with somebody else
