Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Don't Get Around Much Anymore
music by Duke Ellington (left)
lyric by Bob Russell

When I'm not playing solitaire I take a book down from the shelf,
And what with programs on the air, I keep pretty much to myself...

Missed the Saturday dance; heard they crowded the floor.
Couldn't bear it without you, don't get around much anymore.
Thought I'd visit the club; got as far as the door.
They'd have asked me about you, don't get around much anymore.

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?

Been invited on dates; might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you,
Don't get around much anymore...
