They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I got to do is act naturally Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star Might win an Oscar you can never tell The movie's gonna make me a big star, 'Cause I can play the part so well. Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie Then I'll know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time And all I got to do is act naturally. We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely And Begging down upon his bended knee I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing All I have to do is act naturally.

Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if you're lonesome tonight You know someone said that the world's a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change And you acted strange and why I'll never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But I'd rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there With emptiness all around, And if you won't come back to me Then make them bring the curtain down. Is your heart filled with pain, Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
