MR. DEEP BLUE SEA
From the film "Klondike Annie" (1936)
(Gene Austin / James P. Johnson)


Mae West (Film Soundtrack) - 1936





Woke up this mornin' as blue as could be
Looked in the mirror, it frowned at me
That means I'd better start travellin'
Out on that deep blue sea

Oh, Mr. Deep Blue Sea, I hear you callin' me
I wanna be out on that deep blue sea
Oh, Mr. Deep Blue Sea, what have you done to me
I wanna be out on that deep blue sea

Oh, Mr. Ocean, please take a notion
Take me to a distant shore
You know the way there, I wanna stay there
Ain't comin' back no more

Oh, Mr. Deep Blue Sea, I hear you callin' me
I wanna be out on that deep blue sea
