Never Again
Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do?
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
Until I smile at you

on a high hat, a piccolo and a cane
Who stole my gal away with a minor stay?
A high hat, a piccolo, and a cane!
Who made my honey say my love gave her a pain?
A high hat, a piccolo, and a cane!
A high salutin', crap shootin', piccolo tootin' high brow! (x2)
He played a little bell and raised a literal hell, then her head went 'round and 'round.
Whoah!
She thought I was okay, at least that thought betrayed.
With a high hat, a piccolo, and a cane!
