Verse:
Gee, but I'm lone -some, lone -some and blue
I've found out some -thing I ne -ver knew
I know now what it means to be sad
For I've lost the best gal I ev -er had;
She on -ly left yes -ter day
Some -bod -y stole her a -way.
 
Chorus:
Some -bod -y stole my gal
Some -bod -y stole my pal
Some -bod -y came and took her a -way
She did -n't e -ven say she was leav -in';
The kiss -es I loved so
He's get -ting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me If she could see
Her bro -ken heart -ed lone -some pal
Some -bod -y stole my gal.
