Verse 1

Billy When a chap would utter
words that make him stutter
To a girlie sweet,
At her stare, he's well aware
That he has lots of hands and feet.
Then some kind musician,
Seeing his position,
Softly starts to play;
His arm slips in haste
Round her slender waist
And quite boldly, he'll say:

Refrain

"I'll be the bluest of the blue
When I'm without you,
The truest of the true,
I'll never doubt you.
How wonderful that you,
With all the world from which to choose,
Selected me to be the apple of your eye,
I can't resist you
And that's the reason why I kissed you
When the band was playing
The tune that sets you swaying,
The Blue Danube Blues."

Verse 2

Rose-Marie Playing all alone, a kid of seven
In the park across the way,
I thought I was nearing Heaven
When the band began to play.
Ev'ry sweet and pretty
Shop girl in the city
Danced there with her beau;
Now my man I've found,
Mister stick around,
Since I met you I know:

Refrain

"I'll be the bluest of the blue
When I'm without you,
The truest of the true,
I'll never doubt you.
How wonderful that you,
With all the world from which to choose,
Selected me to be the apple of your eye,
I can't resist you
And that's the reason why I kissed you
When the band was playing
The tune that sets you swaying,
The Blue Danube Blues."
