Day in-day out
The same old hoodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you
And darling I think of you
Day in-day out

Day out-day in
I needn’t tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awake with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean’s roar
A thousand drums
Can’t you see it’s love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in-day out

(very long bridge)

Day in-day out
The same old hoodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you
And darling I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out-day in
I needn’t tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awake with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean’s roar
A thousand drums
Can’t you see it’s love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in-day out

Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me
And you hold me tight
But when I awake
You’re out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

Darn your lips
And darn your eyes
They lift me high
Above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out
Of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine
It can’t understand that you don’t care
Just to change the mood I’m in
I’d welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream
I never would have you
But it haunts me
And it won’t come true
Oh, darn that dream

(long bridge)

Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me
And you hold me tight
But when I awake
You’re out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

Darn your lips
Darn your eyes
They lift me high
Above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out
Of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine
It can’t understand that you don’t care
But just to change the mood I’m in
I’d welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream
I never would have you
But it haunts me
And it won’t come true
Oh, darn that dream
