As recorded by ALMA COGAN:

(Blue again, blue again, blue again, blue again, blue again)
(Oh, but she's so blue again)
 
Blue again, blue again
And you know darn well that's you again
'Cause you said last night we were through again
And now I'm blue again
  
I'm alone again, alone again
And I'm out around on my own again
'Cause my mocking bird has flown again
And I'm alone again
  
Though I say I hate you
I love you more everyday
Though I aggravate you
Honest I'm dying to say 

That it's new again, you again 
And we'll meet today at two again
And tonight we'll fight and be through again
And I'll be blue again
 
(Blue again, blue again, blue again, blue again, blue again)

(Instrumental Break)
 
I'm alone again, alone again
And I'm out around on my own again
'Cause my mocking bird has flown again
And I'm alone again
 
(Though I say I hate you)
I love you more everyday
(Though I aggravate you)
Honest I'm dying to say 

That it's new again, you again 
And we'll meet today at two again
And tonight we'll fight and be through again
And I'll be blue again
But tonight we'll fight and be through again
And I'll be blue, blue, blue again
