One less bell to answer

One less egg to fry

One less man to pick up after

I should be happy, but all I do is cry, cry

No more laughter, oh, why did he go?

Since he's left my life's so empty

Though I try to forget it just can't be done

Each time the doorbell rings I still run

I don't know how in the world

To stop thinking of him 'cause I still love him so

I end each day as I start out, crying my heart out

One less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

Since he went away, since he went away

One less bell to answer

One less egg to fry

One less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

Since he went away

Oh why did he go? Oh why did he go?
