Because the days are long and the birds don't sing
There's something wrong with everything
Nothin' does-does like it used to do-do-do
And since you left me all alone
The bees all left the honeycomb
'Cause nothin' does-does like it used to do-do-do
Each little bird that I see way up in the tree is nappin'
They seem to be like poor like me
Waiting for something to happen
Mr. Moon up in the sky
He's tired of waiting, so am I
Nothin' does-does like it used to do-do-do
Nothin’ Does-Does Like It Used to Do-Do-Do was written by Sammy Fain & Irving Kahal & Manny Ross.
California-ramblers released Nothin’ Does-Does Like It Used to Do-Do-Do on Tue Sep 20 1927.
