Why should a womern who is healthy and strong
Blubber like a baby if her man goes away?
A-weepin’ an’ a-wailin’ how he’s done her wrong—
That’s one thing you’ll never hear me say!

Never gonna think that the man I lose
Is the only man among men.
I’ll snap my fingers to show I don’t care.
I’ll buy me a brand-new dress to wear.
I’ll scrub my neck and I’ll bresh my hair,
And start all over again!

Many a new face will please my eye,
Many a new love will find me.
Never’ve I once looked back to sigh
Over the romance behind me.
Many a new day will dawn before I do!

Many a light lad may kiss and fly,
A kiss gone by is bygone;
Never’ve I asked an August sky,
“Where has last July gone?”
Never’ve I wandered through the rye,
Wonderin’ where has some guy gone—
Many a new day will dawn before I do!

Many a new face will please my eye,
Many a new love will find me.
Never’ve I once looked back to sigh
Over the romance behind me.
Many a new day will dawn before I do!

Never’ve I chased the honeybee
Who carelessly cajoled me;
Somebody else just as sweet as he
Cheered me and consoled me.
Never’ve I wept into my tea
Over the deal someone doled me—

Many a new day will dawn,
Many a red sun will set,
Many a blue moon will shine before I do!
