How do I know it's Sunday
I slept till almost after ten
Didn't go to church again, hmm-mmm
How do I know I love you
I wouldn't forget the things I do, if I didn't care

How do I know it's Monday
I missed the morning bus again
Planning things for us again, hmm-mmm
How do I know I love you
I'm up in the clouds the whole day through

I'm not aware of the time
Don't care if I'm hungry, sleepy or ill
I stumble when I walk, I stutter when I talk
I'm a daffy daffodil

How do I know it's raining
I left my rubbers 'neath the bed
Wore a Sunday suit instead, hmm-mmm
How do I know I love you
I wouldn't be late on Sunday
Or miss the bus on Monday
If I didn't care a lot for you

As performed by various cartoon characters in the 1934 
Merrie Melodies animated short film "How Do I Know It's Sunday":


How do we know it's raining
We couldn't wear our Sunday suits
Now we're wearing rubber boots, hmm-hmm
How do you know you love her
You wouldn't forget the things you do
If you care for us

We like to be together
We never want to be apart
We were sweethearts from the start, hmm-hmm
How do we know we're sweethearts
We're up in the clouds the whole day through

We're not aware of the rain
We're quite insane
We don't bother to eat
We stumble when we walk
We stutter when we talk
Life is always ???? ????

Why do we feel so happy
The rain is really pouring down
We don't even wear a frown, hmm-hmm
How do we know we love you
We don't even know it's raining
Why waste time explaining
'Cause we're already in love with you
