Lyrics:
(Written for a picture that was never produced.)
What's my future?
Where am I goin?
Don't ask me,
Don't ask me.
When I've got the moon
I am wishin' for the sun.
When I'm sittin' in the sun
I am wishin' for the moon.
When I've got no job
I'm as blue as I can be.
When I've got some work to do
I am longin' to be free.
I'm a discontented good-for-nothing sort of ne'er-do-well,
Sit around and mope all day until I hear the dinner bell,
Sit around and mope all day and dream of what can never be.
(It takes so much to satisfy a shiftless guy like me.)
When I've got the moon
I am wishin' for the sun.
When I'm sittin' in the sun
I am wishin' for the moon.
When I've got five bucks
I am wishin' it was ten,
But if I had you to love
Then I'd never wish again!
What's my future?
Where am I goin'?
You tell me,
You tell me.
