WHATTA YA GONNA DO?
Sunny Skylar / Patrick Lewis

as recorded by
Helen Forrest & The Chickadees
May 16th 1946 Los Angeles


You say you're gonna leave me, you tell me we're through,
But there may be a question, in fact quite a few!

Whatta you gonna do
If you should need me and I can't be found?
Whatta you gonna do
When there is no-one you can runaround?
Where will you find
The kind of love that I've wasted on you?
Where will you find
Another fool that you can tell those lies to?

Whatta you gonna do
When there's no tingle on the telephone?
Whatta you gonna do
When there's nobody you can call your own?
Better think it over, xxxx? and calm,
There won't be any shoulder you can cry upon!
You never miss the honey till the bees are gone,
Baby, whatta you gonna do?

Whatta you gonna do
When there's no tingle on the telephone?
Whatta you gonna do
When there's nobody you can call your own?
Better think it over, xxxx? and calm,
There won't be any shoulder you can cry upon!
You never miss the honey till the bees are gone,
Baby, whatta you gonna do?
xxxx?, what you gonna do?
