Lyrics:

Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself.

I been here at home watching TV to half-past-three,
Wonderin' why my baby don't care about me.
Mr Lonesome, you been pretty lousy company.

Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Hey, Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself.

Instrumental break.

Mr Lonesome, well I got a new attitude.
And I'm tradin' in these worn out workin' shoes,
An' I'm goin' down town in my alligator cowboy boots.

Hey, Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else.
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself.

Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself.
