One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy, but all I do is cry, cry
No more laughter, oh, why did he go?
Since he's left my life's so empty
Though I try to forget it just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him 'cause I still love him so
I end each day as I start out, crying my heart out
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away, since he went away
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
Oh why did he go? Oh why did he go?
