I usually perform this song on the uke, preferably with viola obbligato; but here’s the first and fifth verses, and a bit of the piano version.
I sit by the window, my room’s nice and dark.
I gaze at the sky and the clouds.
Perhaps I should go for a walk in the park
And mingle a bit with the crowds.
Tomorrow’s my birthday; I’ll go the whole hog:
I’ll lie in the tub with some cake.
I think I’ve forgotten the name of my dog,
And that’s where I made my mistake.
