I Want Somebody to Cheer Me Up

Transcribed from vocals by Cliff Edwards, recorded December 1925,
From The Vintage Recordings of Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike), Take Two Records, TT419CD.

I'm so blue today;
Don't know why,
Don't know what
Makes me feel this way,
But I do.
I'm so glad you came along,
For it seems, when things go wrong
You're the one to tell my troubles to.

I'm just all out of sorts,
For all sorts of reasons,
And want somebody to cheer me up, up, up;
When I feel this way,
I change like the seasons,
If I have somebody to cheer me up, up, up!

You're the kind,
Hard to find,
You don't mind when I frown;
But you smile
All the while;
You never turn me down
When I'm all out of sorts,
For all sorts of reasons,
And I want somebody to cheer me up, up, up!

[Effin']

When I'm all out of sorts,
For all sorts of reasons,
And I want somebody to cheer me up!
When I feel this way,
I change like the seasons,
If I have somebody to cheer me up!

You're the kind,
Hard to find,
You don't mind when I frown;
But you smile
All the while;
You never turn me down
When I'm all out of sorts,
For all sorts of reasons,
And I want somebody to cheer me up!
