As recorded by PEGGY LEE
with Dave Barbour & His Orch., Dec 2nd 1947, Los Angeles:

I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing?

Goodbye, old sleepyhead
I'm packin' you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

(Orchestral Interlude)

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed!
