Verse 1:

Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue.
I've found out something I never knew.
I know now what it means to be sad,
For I've lost the best gal I ever had;
She only left yesterday, Somebody stole her away.

Chorus:

Somebody stole my gal, Somebody stole my pal.
Somebody came and took her away,
She didn't even say she was leavin'

The kisses I love so, He's getting now I know,
And Gee! I know that she would come to me if she could see,
Her broken hearted lonesome pal, Somebody stole my gal.


Verse 2:

Angels they say are only above.
I know that's wrong because my old love,
Sure is an angel, take it from me,
And she's all the angel I want to see;
Maybe she'll come back some day, All I can do now is pray.

Chorus:

Somebody stole my gal, Somebody stole my pal.
Somebody came and took her away, She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so, He's getting now I know,
And Gee! I know that she would come to me if she could see,
Her broken hearted lonesome pal, Somebody stole my gal.

And Gee! I know that she would come to me if she could see,
Her broken hearted lonesome pal,
Somebody stole my, somebody stole my, somebody stole my gal!
