Lyrics:
Shirley doesn’t feel too happy
Shirley doesn’t feel too gay
Something has been worrying Shirley
For many a lonely day
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
‘Cause someone doesn’t love Shirley
The way that she loves him
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
‘Cause someone doesn’t love Shirley
The way that she loves him
