ABSENT MINDED ME

(Jule Styne (m) / Bob Merrill (l) )

Lyrics as sung by Barbra Streisand September 1964 ‘People’

Also sung by Julie London 1962 ’Sophisticated Lady’

Absent minded me
Absent minded me
I'm losing a key
Or missing a glove
Just like me to lose my love
Gotta find it, absent minded me.

Dizzy dopey me
Mixed-up mopey me
I'm way, way ahead
Of the game then it starts
How did I lose my king of hearts
Gotta find it, absent minded me.

There's my key
Gee, I left it in the door
There's my glove on the shelf
Now if I don't find my love
I'll be losing myself.

Gotta find him, gotta find him
Absent minded me
Absent minded me.

Styne/Merrill for the character of Fanny Brice in the March 
1964 Broadway musical ‘Funny Girl’ but was 
removed prior to production.

‘Absent Minded Me’ was also recorded as a 
B-side 45 rpm single July 1964 opposite Funny Girl, the A-side.
