lyrics

let's paint the town blue, now I'm losin you
I don't know why you couldn't be true
tomorrow I'll have to bid you adieu
oh darlin, tonight, let's paint the town blue

all of the things we used to do
we'd paint the town red, when our love was new
we were borrowin time, but we never knew
now payment is due, Iet's paint the town blue

just one more time, let's see the night through
if we can't make love, we'll have to make do
let's put on the dog, like we used to do
oh darlin, tonight, let's paint the town blue

let's paint the town blue, now I'm losin you
I don't know why you couldn't be true
tomorrow I'll have to bid you adieu
but darlin tonight, let's paint the town blue
