Mrs. Vanderbilt

You never think of worrying

What’s the use of worrying

When your bus has left the stop

You’d better drop your hurrying

What’s the use of hurrying

Leave me alone Mrs. Vanderbilt

I’ve got plenty of the time of my own

Just what’s the use of worrying

What’s the use of hurrying

What’s the use of anything

Ho Hey Ho. Ho Hey Ho.
