[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
I've got the You-Don't-Know-the-Half-of-It-Dearie blues
Oh, how I wish you'd drop that anchor and end your cruise
You're just a duffer
Who makes me suffer
All the younger set
Says your heart's to let
I've got the You-Don't-Know-the-Half-of-It-Dearie blues

[Verse 2]
Mmm
Mmm

[Verse 3]
I've got the You-Don't-Know-the-Half-of-It-Dearie blues
Although I know that love's a gamble, I hate to lose
Life will be duller
Will have no color
Jill without a Jack
Makes the future black
I've got the You-Don't-Know-the-Half-of-It-Dearie blues

[Outro]
Mmm
I've got the You-Don't-Know-the-Half-of-It-Dearie blues
