NO DEPOSIT NO RETURN 
(Devvy Davenport / Tom Mathison / Freddie George)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra
1952


It don't cost nothin' to take my love,
But darlin' you just gotta learn,
Like that one way bottle, from a one way gal,
No deposit, no return!

There won't be the dishes to leave in the sink,
No roast in the oven to burn,
Like that one way bottle, from a one way gal,
No deposit, no return!

If you change course like an untamed horse,
I'm not the one for you!
If I take your brand dear, please understand
I'll wear it my whole life through!

I won't give a listen without that ring,
And if it's for young'uns you yearn,
Like that one way bottle, from a one way gal,
No deposit, no return!

If you change course like an untamed horse,
I'm not the one for you!
If I take your brand dear, please understand
I'll wear it my whole life through!

I won't give a listen without that ring,
And if it's for young'uns you yearn,
Like that one way bottle, from a one way gal,
No deposit, no return,
No return,
No return!
