Once in a Blue Moon

Lyrics

[Intro (spoken)] [Elmarie Wendel] Billy, I promise I'll never look at another man [John McMartin] Do you really mean that? [Elmarie Wendel] Of course I do, Billy! [John McMartin] I don't believe you [Verse: John McMartin and (Elmarie Wendel)] I don't want to hear your promise For I'm now a doubting Thomas Your behaviour is an absolute disgrace (Oh, Billy!) If you swore upon a Bible Then the church would sue for libel And I'm not too sure they wouldn't win the case (But, that's silly!) For I've seen you kissing others And you tell me they're your brothers Do you grow them by the bushel or the bail? (Who, me?) Or you tell me they're your cousins You've got cousins by thе dozens And it's mighty strange that evеryone's a male (Well, you see, I—) If I'm slower than molasses It's these rosy colored glasses But from now on all my faith and trust is gone (Oh, no!) For I've reached a big decision What I need is better vision You're not worth the paper that you're written on You've made your bed of rolling stone And now the shoe won't fit You've had your cake and should have known You'd have to lay in it Yet [Chorus: John McMartin and (Elmarie Wendel)] Once in a blue moon I think you love me (I often think I'd like to love you) Once in a blue moon I think you don't (It's rather pleasing To be so teasing) Once in a blue moon I think you hate me (I only hate you 'Cause I love you) Once in a blue moon I think you won't (I'm undecided I must be guided) Once in a blue moon You want to leave me (I can't imagine Why I'd leave you) Once in a blue moon You're in a whirl (You set me reeling With such a feeling) [Conclusion] Why this confusion? (Why this confusion?) Here's the conclusion: (Here's the conclusion) You are my / (I am your) Once in a blue moon girl A blue moon girl
