We'll have a blue room,
A new room,
For two room,
Where ev'ry day's a holiday
Because you're married to me.
Not like a ballroom,
A small room,
A hall room,
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee.
We will thrive on,
Keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With Mister and Missus
On little blue chairs.
You sew your trousseau,
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs.

The Blue Room 1926 Rodgers and Hart
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart

This tender ode to domesttic tranquillity was first sung in the
1926 Broadway musical "The Girl Friend" which came to London
and the Palace Theatre in the following year. The key word 'room'
is skilfully emphasised in the first and second eight bar sections:
every time it is sung it is preceded by the rhyme falling
on 'C' with the word irtself raised one tone higher.
