As recorded by THE REVELERS:
In our little blue room
All our own, dear
All the future plans
Dear, will suit your plans
Read the little blueprints
Here's your mother's room
Here's your brother's room
On the wall are two prints
Here's the kiddies' room
Here's the biddy's room
Here's a pantry lined with shelves, dear
Here I've planned for us
Something good for us
Where we two can be ourselves, dear
We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where ev'ry day's a holiday
Because you're married to me
Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Missus
On little blue chairs
You sew your trousseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs

As performed by PERRY COMO
in the 1948 film "Words And Music":
>From all visitors
And inquisitors
We'll keep our apartment
I won't change your plans
You arrange your plans
Just the way your heart meant
Here we'll be ourselves
And we'll see ourselves
Doing all the things we're scheming
Here I plan for us
Something grand for us
Where no one can see us dreaming
We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where ev'ry day's a holiday
Because you're married to me
Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Missus
On little blue chairs
You sew your trousseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs
(They will thrive on, keep alive on)
(Just nothing but kisses)
(With Mister and Missus)
(On little blue chairs)
(She'll wear her trousseau)
(And Robinson Crusoe)
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs
