Gosh darn! Just when the heaven clears
Gosh darn! You ups and disappears
Gosh darn! I'm on
You slipped through my hand like oodles of sand

Gosh darn! Another came in view
Gosh darn! I heard you say, "I do"
Gosh darn! And you left me in the lurch
Gosh darn!

(Orchestral Interlude)

Gosh darn, just when the heaven clears
Gosh darn, you ups and disappears
Gosh darn, I'm on
You slipped through my hand like oodles of sand

Gosh darn, another came along
Gosh darn, you listened to a song
I say, I'm made enough to say
Gosh darn

(Orchestral Interlude)

Gosh darn, just when the heaven clears
Gosh darn, you ups and disappears
Gosh darn, I'm on
You slipped through my hand like oodles of sand

Gosh darn, another came in view
Gosh darn, I heard you say, "I do"
Gosh darn, and you left me in the lurch
Gosh darn

As Recorded by GEORGE OLSEN with FRAN FREY & ETHEL SHULLA.
Recorded on 14th April 1932:


FRAN: We were happy the night we met
ETHEL: We were waitin' for the Moon to shine
FRAN: It was then you promised to be mine
BOTH: Ooh-ooh, what did we do

FRAN: Gosh darn! We took a little ride
ETHEL: Gosh darn! I sat there by your side
BOTH:
Gosh darn! We tried to spoon 'neath the Moon
And then pretty soon

FRAN: Gosh darn! We parked beside a barn
ETHEL: Gosh darn! And then we heard a voice say, "Stop!"
FRAN: And all I got was a ticket from a cop
BOTH: Gosh darn!

ETHEL: Gosh darn! Just when you kissed me, dear
FRAN: Gosh Darn! You upped and disappeared
ETHEL: Gosh darn! Had charms
FRAN: You slipped through my hand like oodles of sand

ETHEL: Gosh darn! Another came in view
FRAN: Gosh darn! And I heard you say, "I do" in church
ETHEL: So I left you in the lurch
BOTH: Gosh darn!

FRAN: Gosh darn! Then I married Mary Brown
ETHEL: Gosh darn! She's got the biggest feet in town
FRAN: Why, you're sore
ETHEL: What's more, I still go for you
FRAN: Well, what can we do
ETHEL: Gosh darn! Have you got a family
FRAN: Yes sir! And we didn't stop at three
ETHEL: Oh gee! I'm glad it wasn't me
BOTH: Gosh darn!
