Oh, I went to the Doctor
I said, Doctor, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said, the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody believes in you

Make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song

And so I went to the Whippoorwill
I said, Whippoorwill, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said, I only had but one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over 'til she comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song

Oh, I went to a Whale
I said, Killer Whale, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said, I only had but one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over 'til she comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song

Oh, I went to my Mama
I said, Mama, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
She said, the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody believes in you
